UN WOMEN Annual Report 2014-2015
Abstract:
Nepal’s 2015 earthquake shattered buildings and lives. But it did not destroy the courage of women who have stepped forward to help. “My home and farm are completely damaged,” recounts Nirjala Pokhrel, a volunteer from Pourakhi, a women’s group normally active on the rights of women migrants. “So many women are affected. As a woman survivor, I understand their needs.” “We are all suffering,” adds Pragit Tuladhar (photo), volunteer from a women workers’ organization, SABAH. “But we are gathered here to help others.” Disasters take a heavy toll on women. They can be more vulnerable to sexual and gender-based violence. Social norms, lack of information and burdensome household chores can render them last in line for help they desperately need.
