Course: Introduction to gender-based analysis plus GBA+ > Section: Module 4

Some considerations:

Diverse women and men may contribute different knowledge and skills to emergency preparedness, response and recovery, both as professionals and as community members.

How can you leverage individual strengths without exploiting gendered stereotypes and inequities?

Vulnerabilities and risks are context-specific, therefore emergency program services need to be informed by a variety of perspectives in the community.

Strategies:

Ensure that a diversity of community organizations are included in the design and delivery of the emergency response.

Consider promoting gender and diversity training for emergency planners and responders.
