This report highlights that natural disasters disproportionately impact marginalized groups, with women and girls being particularly vulnerable due to entrenched gender inequalities. Discriminatory laws and practices, along with gender stereotypes, limit their autonomy and access to resources, exacerbating their vulnerability during and after disasters. Factors such as gender-specific health needs, division of labor, economic resources, and increased risk of violence further compound their challenges, highlighting the urgent need for gender-sensitive disaster response and mitigation strategies.
