Learning event: Understanding gender dimension in natural disasters
Organized by the SDC Networks for DRR and Gender and Swiss NGO DRR Platform, the two-day event on "Gender issues and the Position of Women in Climate and Disaster Resilience" took place on November 24 & 25, 2021 in Bern
Event Summary
The two-day Learning Event aimed at understanding the gender dimension in natural disasters, working with gender and DRR approaches and tools. This provides the necessary foundations for effective DRR work and vice-versa, can add value to gender programes by integrating the DRR perspective. Gender is intersecting with several other factors of discrimination and exclusion. In view of Switzerland’s Commitment to Leaving No One Behind (LNOB), the training also looked at the intersections between Gender and LNOB in Disaster Risk Management.
