> WOMEN AND GIRLS ARE POWERFUL AGENTS OF CHANGE

> “Women in Bushfire Territory,” in Enarson and Morrow (eds.),
> The Gendered Terrain of Disaster, p. 142.
> Women and girls are invaluable in disaster risk reduction and
> climate change adaptation processes if real community
> resilience and significant reduction of disaster impacts are to
> be achieved. Women must always be part of policy, planning and
> implementation processes.
> Women and girls are 52% of the world’s population and are among
> the most affected by disasters. Their experience, knowledge and
> expertise are critical to climate change adaptation and
> disaster risk reduction strategies and processes.
> Household adaptation measures are more likely to take root if

> A RESILIENT COMMUNITY IS A GENDER SENSITIVE COMMUNITY
> "If we are going to see real development in the world then our

> Gender inequality puts women, children and entire communities
> in danger when natural hazards strike. The weakest link can
> mean the destruction of the entire chain. Gender inequality is
> a weak link - strengthening that link strengthens resilience.
> Gender equality begins with education. Women and girls must be
> included in public life. This begins with the education of boys
> and girls through to adulthood. This is how men and boys will
> become involved in removing the barriers that prevent women and
> girls from participating in the disaster risk reduction cycle.
> Women and girls are effective purveyors of information.
> Information mechanisms must be two-way and accessible for equal
> inclusion of women’s and men’s voices.

> Action points
> Viet Lan - to work with INGO comms officers, develop some short
> guidelines, re. messaging and video clips to be made
> Viet Lan - to develop a short ToR for the video consultant
> Ian - to confirm arrangements for Madhavi
> Hien - to follow-up with BBC re. possible coverage by them of

> All INGO staff present - requested to start to act within their
