The missing half of the Sendai framework

Gender and women in the implementation of global disaster risk reduction policy

This analyses the relevance of the Sendai Framework for women in the context of disasters five years into the implementation of the Sendai Framework. A theory of change to address this would include a very specific focus on who is making the decisions in disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation, why women are not there to any extent, and how to remove these threshold barriers to include and empower women and support women’s leadership.
