A summary of progress (or lack of) in integrating gender equality in DRR, to flag ahead of the third UN World Conference on DRR. The international community has recognized the need for and has committed to a strong focus on gender equality and women’s rights in disaster risk reduction. However, despite progress in the implementation of Hyogo Framework for Action, this progress has not translated into systematic action and sustainable results for women’s rights and gender equality in disaster risk reduction efforts. The summary outlines areas where data is lacking and progress has been limited.
