    Gender Dimension of Disaster Risk Management

    Lanka, Institute of Policy Studies of Sri | October 2018
    Abstract
    When talking about disaster risk management (DRM) in Sri Lanka, it is important to note that climate change and related disasters have a gender dimension, in which women are often affected adversely. And, just as natural disasters affect women disproportionately, response and recovery efforts which are the key elements of disaster management can also increase or reinforce existing inequalities.
