The study on “Women in Times of Disaster”: The Integration of Gender Issues and Gender Perspectives in Disaster Management

The study is expected to show in practice how gender integration is to be done in the situation of disaster. This report can be used as a reference to build better understanding on the impact of disaster to women and how to better address it. This contributes to the APEC works in reducing the the reverse impact of disaster particularly among women and the people under their care. The study covers four countries, namely Japan, Indonesia, Philippines and Thailand. The study in the Philippines was coordinated by the Philippine Women’s University.
