Gender Action Plan to support implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030 (Sendai GAP)
The Gender Action Plan to support implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 (Sendai GAP) has been launched and is available now. The Sendai GAP aims to accelerate progress towards the mutually reinforcing goals of gender equality and the prevention and reduction of disaster risk by ensuring DRR efforts are gender-responsive, and promote and support women’s empowerment and leadership.
Gender responsive implementation of the Sendai Framework is needed to properly understand differing risks and needs, address the gendered dimensions of risk and support intersectional risk management.
