Gender & Disaster Network www.gdnonline.org
Why gender?Gender gap in ‘first world’ disasters – lagging behind gender in development
Few people recognized difference in disasters then – during the IDNDR period
![Page 5: THE GENDER AND DISASTER NETWORK](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56812eb0550346895d9455f8/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Gender & Disaster Network www.gdnonline.org
Why gender?Women particularly invisible Slow recognition and then only as homogeneous group of vulnerable, passive victims

Our Message Women are not passive victims in disaster
events but active agents of change A gender analysis must always be
contextualized

What Do We Do?
We focus on all forms of disasters: ‘natural,’ biological, technological and social disasters, and climate change
We seek to embed gender and development within disaster work and to embed gendered disaster risk reduction into development work

Re: Assessing Haitian women's situation
Greetings. It is important that as you state, the recovery initiative is informed by Haitians and those with deep knowledge of Haiti. Haiti has long been a laboratory of failed development and social engineering experiments that have benefitted outsiders more than Haitians.
