South Asia is one of the most vulnerable areas of an increasingly disaster-impacted world, with cyclones, earthquakes, floods and droughts causing several casualties and disrupting lives and livelihoods every year. Yet the impacts of disasters are not equally distributed across the peoples of the region.Women and men experience disaster differently
‘This volume provides an important contribution to the scientific literature by [not only offering] new data and analyses, but also indicating what ought to be done for policy and practice . . . [A] solid overview of gender and disaster for countries across South Asia, informing the rest of world.’ — Ilan Kelman, Reader, Institute for Risk & Disaster Reduction and Institute for Global Health, University College London, UK
'The book brings together interdisciplinary perspectives in gender studies. It provides a good collection of references for students and researchers to build upon.' — Malini Nambiar, an independent disaster management professional focusing on gender inclusion and community-based disaster risk management, Economic&Political Weekly
