How to ensure gender equity in our society during emergency and disaster periods

Here are some ways to ensure gender equity in our society during emergency and disaster periods:

{ Incorporate gender-responsive considerations into disaster risk reduction (DRR) and emergency preparedness Planning. This means considering the different needs and vulnerabilities of women and men, girls and boys, and other marginalized groups. For example, women may need access to safe spaces and separate toilets in shelters, and they may be more likely to be victims of gender-based violence.
{ Train disaster response personnel on gender equality and the specific needs of women and girls. This will help ensure that women and girls are not discriminated against in the aftermath of a disaster, and that they have access to the same resources and services as men.
{ Gather gender-disaggregated data on disasters. This will help to identify the specific challenges that women and girls face in the aftermath of a disaster, and to track the progress of efforts to ensure gender equity.
{ Support women's leadership and participation in disaster risk reduction and emergency response. Women are often excluded from decision-making in these areas, but they have a wealth of knowledge and experience that can be invaluable in responding to disasters.
{ Advocate for gender-sensitive policies and programs. This includes ensuring that women have equal access to resources, services, and decision-making power.
{ Challenge gender stereotypes and harmful traditional practices. These can often contribute to the vulnerability of women and girls in the aftermath of a disaster.
{ Build the resilience of women and girls. This includes providing them with skills, knowledge, and resources so that they can better cope with the impacts of disasters.
