Gender and DRR

The course offers a comprehensive exploration of the intersection between gender, disasters, and resilience-building efforts. Through a combination of theoretical knowledge, case studies, and data analysis, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the gendered impacts and inequalities associated with disasters, evaluate historical commitments to gender equality, and explore the inter-linkages between gender and disaster risk reduction (DRR). By the end of the course, participants will have gained a deeper understanding of the gendered impacts of disasters, evaluated historical commitments to gender equality, explored the inter-linkages between gender and DRR, analyzed the challenges posed by events like COVID-19, and developed skills in studying data sets to identify differences and inequalities among diverse population groups. The course aims to empower participants to contribute effectively to gender-inclusive disaster response and resilience-building initiatives.
