Gender Inclusiveness and Disaster Risk Reduction

-
The ability to comprehend how gender relations affect both men and women's lives is essential for catastrophe risk reduction (DRR). This is due to the fact that how men and women will be affected by various risks as well as how they will respond to and recover from disasters depends on their respective roles, responsibilities, and access to resources. Due to the unequal power relationships between men and women, despite the extraordinary women typically show resiliency and a capacity for survival in the midst of calamity, but they also encounter a variety of gender-specific vulnerabilities. 

This organization is of the opinion that through altering the distribution of power between men and women, it can enhance gender equality and women's rights. It sees this as a question of justice and fundamental rights as well as a way to more effectively combat poverty and suffering. This is crucial because disasters and the effects of climate change have a tendency to exacerbate already-existing disparities between men and women. 

The main obstacles to this journey, which are interrelated, are listed below:

  • Poor understanding of gender aspects in DRR at the policy and practitioner levels is a major obstacle. Gender equality in DRR does not mean merely addressing women’s humanitarian issues - it means addressing the concerns of both men and women, the relations between them and the root causes of imbalances; and
  • Lack of institutional, individual, and tool capacity to mainstream disaster risk reduction and gender.

While gender exclusion which is from the word EXCLUDED - meaning to let not the other gender participate in economic, politics and social norms. We can also say that exclusion occurs when particular people or groups in a society are being marginalized because of either their religion or culture.
