Gender Equality Matters inf Disaster Risk Reduction
Gender Equality matters in Disaster Risk Reduction

“Disasters are intensifying at an alarming rate. More extreme weather, combined with poor planning and adaptation measures, is exposing millions of people who do not have recourse to social protection, to loss of homes, lives, and livelihoods. That exposure to harm is not uniform… women and girls are being left out and left behind, caught up in a vicious cycle of impact and neglect.” - UN Women Executive Director Sima Bahous

As the Hurricane season begins in the Caribbean, UN Women Multi Country Office- Caribbean has the necessary resources for gender-responsive approaches for building disaster risk resilience based on localized data and insights.
