WOMEN BUILD RESILIENCE
Disasters devastate. They
hit communities and break their socio-political and economic fabric. They
test the resilience of people, especially women, by erasing years of hard-earned
lives. Though women are the worst affected and the first to respond to
disasters, they are often the last ones consulted in post disaster initiatives.
Yet experiences in India, Turkey Honduras and Jamaica show that disasters
present an opportunity to rebuild the lives of women and community.
