Recognise the strength of women and girls in reducing disaster risks: stories from Viet Nam
October 2012
Women play a crucial role in Viet Nam. They play vital roles in the household, in the rural and urban economies, and in society as a whole. With disasters affecting Viet Nam annually, in combination with a particular vulnerability to the effects of climate change, it is essential to recognise women and girls as dynamic actors in disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation. This publication aims to tell the story behind the larger issues and show the visible force behind lasting change.
