WRD Framework

WRD Framework

The Women’s Resilience to Disasters Framework provides the architecture for building women’s disaster and climate resilience and for organising the WRD Knowledge Hub resources into topics. It comprises three pillars:

          A. RISK. Understanding gendered risks, interests, and needs;

          B. SYSTEMS. Enabling gender-responsive systems; and

          C. ACTION. Realising women’s resilience to disasters and threats.

Each of the three WRD pillars comprise a series of building blocks that together provide the foundation for ensuring the lives and livelihoods of women are more resilient to disasters.
