Signpost to Bali - Capacity Building for Gender Inclusive DRR - Insights Document
As disasters affect genders, age groups, and communities differently, it's clear that women, children, persons with disabilities, and other vulnerable groups bear a disproportionate burden. Thus, a comprehensive approach to disaster resilience, encompassing all genders and communities, is imperative. Given that community members, particularly women, often act as the first responders, their involvement in capacity building for disaster preparedness and mitigation is pivotal. This grassroots engagement not only strengthens resilience but also mitigates adversities effectively.
