Twenty-five years ago at the Natural Hazards Workshop, a group of hazards experts came together to build a network and advance issues of gender and disaster in research. That group grew into the Gender and Disaster Network, which has been offering resources, building connections, advocating for gender equality in disaster risk reduction, and supporting new professionals throughout the years.
Founding members and present representatives will discuss significant moments of change in the field over the last decades and the trajectory of the group, at a special session at the 2022 Natural Hazards Workshop on the 11th July, at 3.30pm Mountain Time : https://hazards.colorado.edu/workshop/2022/session/the-gender-and-disaster-network-at-25?row=13
