Women and excluded groups are disproportionately vulnerable to the impacts of disaster risk. In developing countries such as Nepal, the death ratio can reach 4 women to every man when a disaster strikes. In most cases, the needs and responsibilities of women and socially excluded groups are not adequately considered in the design and planning of disaster response and recovery, making it critical to recognize the role of Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) in crisis situations. The UNDP Comprehensive Disaster Risk Management Programme aims to mainstream GESI strategies into all stages of disaster risk management, including disaster preparedness, disaster reduction, and disaster response and recovery. UNDP’s goal is to promote women and socially excluded groups not only as beneficiaries, but as change agents and leaders of the communities. The United Nations Development Programme places gender equality and female empowerment as a fundamental human rights principle and an effective means and approach to achieving development.
