This edited book was produced through a transnational and
transdisciplinary UNESCO Chair Project on Gender and Vulnerability
in Disaster Risk Reduction Support. Contributors come from five
disaster-prone Asian countries, and the chapters reflect their rich
knowledge and practical experience in disaster management and
humanitarian assistance. The chapters, all with a focus on gender
and vulnerability, illustrate that gender can make people,
especially women, vulnerable. The chapters address the experiences
of state and non-state actors responding to disaster and promoting
recovery at the local level. However, while women and vulnerable
people may be victims of disasters, they also serve as agents for
recovery and voices for better disaster preparedness. In sharing
both successes and failures, as well as suggestions for the future,
this book speaks to the need for transdisciplinary knowledge and
multilevel coordination, as well as full equality for all genders
and respect for human rights, in order to cope with increasingly
more frequent, intense, and complex emergencies. This book is of
interest as a text to students in a variety of disciplines who are
focusing on disaster and health emergencies, as well as to
practitioners and others promoting disaster risk reduction and
resilience.
