Gender-Responsive Disaster Risk Reduction : Challenges and Solutions in UNDRR Policymaking

Matikainen, Tilda January 2023 (has links)
This paper brings insight into the international regime on Disaster Risk Reduction and its responsiveness to gendered dimensions. More specifically, it investigates the translation from theoretical prescriptions to policy practices in the internationally operating United Nations Office for DRR (UNDRR). The aim of this paper is to study to what extent the central challenges and solutions in making DRR gender-responsive, as defined by scientific literature, are brought up in UNDRR policymaking. The extent to which they were mentioned in each unit of analysis (33 UNDRR publications) is systematically documented and all quotes are listed and used as a qualitative complementary element. Results show that there are substantially more mentions of solutions than challenges. Further, while some aspects such as women’s exclusion from decision-making and promoting their leadership receive substantial attention throughout the publications, the homogenization of women and men’s exclusion do not. In conclusion, the UNDRR has, to a varying extent, integrated the central challenges and solutions into gender-responsive DRR policymaking. In identifying these gaps, the study offers practical recommendations. It also provides a theoretical framework and a descriptive foundation of trends and patterns for future research.

Women Representation in Disaster Risk Reduction : A Critical Discourse Analysis of the UNDRR Frameworks

Gerbais, Juliette January 2020 (has links)
While early relocation is not makeable, disaster risk reduction seems to be the most effective tool to decrease the impact of a disaster. This case study focuses on three UNDRR frameworks as they appear to be the greatest instance of international documents referring to disaster risk reduction (DRR). Especially, this research examines the representation of women within these frameworks and how their portrayal in DRR has changed over the last two decades. To do so, a critical discourse analysis of the three UNDRR frameworks is conducted. This study benefits from a social vulnerability approach and further engages with the Feminist Political Ecology theory. The analysis finds that even though women are increasingly represented in the frameworks, their roles as active participants remain negligible. Their knowledge and interest are still not recognised as valuable in DRR. Rather, women seem to be employed as tools to include more gender-sensitive programmes. This study recommends a greater and more complex emphasis on women in future DRR policies.
