Women, Disaster Reduction and Sustainable Development
This is not an article about how any one superwoman confronted, survived or managed to reduce the impact of a major flood or tropical storm. Nor is it the opposite story about the poor and defenceless woman who could, would or should do nothing than wait and see. This story conveys hope and the insight that both
women and men are part of the same society, which as we know, does not mean we have the same rights, education and options to manage, neither in “normal”

disaster strikes.

risk reduction has long remained a largely male dominated affair, yet it

Reproductive health problems are the leading

second-highest cause of ill health globally, after communicable diseases.
These figures mask huge disparities, both among and within countries.
Because reproductive health status depends so heavily on income and
gender, addressing this issue becomes a matter of social justice, ethics

Gender and ICTs: Overview Report
New technologies in the information and
communications arena, especially in the internet, have been seen as
ushering in a new age. There is mainstream view that such technologies
have only technical rather then social implications. The dramatic positive
changes brought in by these information and communication technologies (ICTs)
however, have not touched all humanity. Existing power relations in
society determine the enjoyment of benefits from ICTs, hence these
technologies are not gender neutral. The important questions are:
who benefits from ICTs? Is it possible to harness ICTs to serve
larger goals of equality and justice? Central to this issue is the issue
of gender and women's equal rights to access, use and shape ICTs.

A power point presentation detailing the
importance of gender analysis and the tools available to accomplish it.
TOP
| HOME
Gender analysis focuses on understanding and
documenting the differences in gender roles, activities, needs, and
opportunities in a given context. Gender analysis involves the
disaggregation of quantitative data by gender. It highlights the different
roles and learned behavior of men and women based on gender attributes.
These vary across cultures, class, ethnicity, income, education, and time;
thus, gender analysis does not treat women as a homogeneous group or
gender attributes as immutable.
