Kadınların Dayanıklılığını Güçlendirmek

Biologically, women are generally considered to be physically more vulnerable. Conditions such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, or old age may lead to a greater need for urgent assistance during disasters. Additionally, special needs such as hygiene and healthcare requirements must be taken into account.
Recent earthquakes in Turkey have demonstrated that a country is at risk of experiencing a major disaster at any moment. Among the most vulnerable groups in the aftermath of such major disasters are women. Because economically, women often have lower incomes, with a significant portion of their work consisting of low-paying or temporary jobs. Disasters can result in job losses or economic hardships for women. Economic vulnerability further complicates the post-disaster recovery process. Understanding women's vulnerability to disasters is crucial for more effective disaster preparedness and response. In this context, gender-sensitive strategies that take into account the needs and strengths of women need to be developed.

These partner organizations will send 8 participants to our project, and special attention will be given to maintaining gender balance in the selection of participants. We plan to implement a series of activities in our project, with a focus on disaster resilience, gender equality, and cross-cultural exchange.
