Guidelines for gender sensitive disaster management
These guidelines have been formulated to assist governments, the non state sector and civil society in dealing with women who have been affected by disaster. They are meant to be practical, easy to follow steps that need to be taken in responding to women’s concerns in post disaster situations. They have been categorized into immediate, mid-term and long-term responses. However, there could be overlap in the responses and this factor needs to be taken into consideration in implementing the guidelines.
