- Description
- This book examines gender within the context of disaster risk management. It argues for gender mainstreaming as an effective strategy towards achieving disaster risk reduction and mitigating post-disaster gender disparity. Highlighting that gender inequalities pervade all aspects of life, it analyses the failure to implement inclusive and gender-sensitive approaches to relief and rehabilitation work. While examining positive strategies for change, the collection focuses on women s knowledge, capabilities, leadership and experience in community resource management. The authors emphasize that these strengths in women, which are required for building resilience to hazards and disasters, are frequently overlooked.

- Description
- Social inequalities have consequences for the everyday lives of women and girls where power relations, institutional and socio-cultural practices make them disadvantaged in terms of disaster preparedness and experience. Chapters in this book unravel how gender and masculinity intersect with age, ethnicity, sexuality and class in specific contexts around the globe. It looks at the various kinds of difficulties for particular groups before, during and after disastrous events such as typhoons, flooding, landslides and earthquakes. It explores how issues of gender hierarchies, patriarchal structures and masculinity are closely related to gender segregation, institutional codes of behaviour and to a denial of environmental crisis.

- Description
- The book comprises four parts: global discourses on gender and water: gendered water in times and places: gendered cultures and economies of water: and representations and agency of women in water. The twenty-two chapters present an array of case studies on gender and water by an international group of experts who point to the need of gender equity in water cultures, show how women's roles in water use remain hidden and how their water priorities are neglected in prevailing discourses of gender roles.

- Description
- This book starts with basic climate science and holds up a gender lens to find out what has been overlooked in popular discussion, research and policy debates. Around the world, more women than men die in climate-related natural disasters: the history of science and war are intimately interwoven masculine occupations and preoccupations and conservative men and their interests drive the climate change denial machine. Climate policymakers who embrace big science approaches and solutions to climate change are predominantly male with an ideology of perpetual economic growth, and an agenda that marginalizes the interests of women and developing economies.
