In disasters, the needs of women, girls, boys and men are different and distinct. Scientific research demonstrates how women are disproportionally affected by natural disaster events. More marginalized populations, including women, tend to be disproportionally negatively impacted when natural disasters happen. The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction states emphasizes that women and their participation are critical to effectively managing disaster risk. The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk reduction, Agency for Humanity and the Sustainable Development Goals all commit to reaching the most vulnerable women, girls, boys and men and the needs of diverse and at-risk groups in situations of disaster vulnerability and risk. The pledge to leave no one behind is the central theme of the 2030 Agenda and places a new obligation on our commitment to reach and transform the lives of those most at risk of being left behind.
This training will provide an introduction on how to operationalize institutional policies and practice to integrate gender into disaster risk reduction. The training will develop skills and competencies in disaster risk reduction using a gender lens throughout the disaster risk reduction cycles, from assessment, analysis, planning through to implementation, monitoring and evaluation.
COURSE GOAL
Ensure participants are provided with tools and practical understanding to integrate gender issues into disaster risk reduction policies and practice. The training will build an awareness of gender equality, build gender competence and enabling participants to promote gender equality goals in their work at all levels. Participants will gain knowledge to use gender analysis tools, collecting gender-sensitive data and to use data to plan in a systematic way.
