 ER VIA:\nhttps://landmarklecture.eventbrite.co.uk/\n\nTOPIC:\n\nThere is
  now a considerable body of work that addresses a range of issues that c
 onnect gender and disaster (see resources at https://www.gdnonline.org/r
 esources). For some parts of the disaster-humanitarianism-development ne
 xus\, it is no longer necessary to explain why we need to include gender
 \; for others there is still much work to be done. For example\, disaste
 r warning systems often prioritise technical over social parameters\, bu
 t we will see a UN Women video whose main protagonist (a grassroots Unit
  Leader in the Cyclone Preparedness Program Bangladesh)\, clearly articu
 lates the gendered social context of warnings.  \n\nThe disaster-humanit
 arianism-development nexus itself encompasses many differing aims\, worl
 dviews\, tasks and approaches – even without the addition of gender. Bri
 nging all these together can mean that we all may be starting at very di
 fferent levels of understanding\, interest or willingness to engage with
  this issue. \n\nThis presentation offers some examples of the ways the 
 gender and disaster connection has been addressed\, sidelined or simplif
 ied and some thoughts about continuing gaps\, challenges and opportuniti
 es. For example\, we will explore how Bangladesh has made a major gender
  responsive input to their National Resilience Programme\, the goal of w
 hich is ‘To sustain the resilience of human and economic development in 
 Bangladesh through inclusive\, gender responsive disaster management and
  risk informed development’  (here).\n\nIn policy areas (e.g the Sendai 
 Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030)\, we have seen some enh
 ancement of the gender focus since earlier Global Frameworks\, but we st
 ill need to make the case for a vision that goes beyond a narrow focus o
 n women and on women as vulnerable\, and that addresses intersectionalit
 y.
