儿童特别容易受到自然灾害的影响。本文旨在更深入地了解自然灾害对儿童的具体影响，以及他们如何更好地参与减少灾害风险（DRR）进程。本文首先回顾了儿童主导的减少灾害风险（CLDRR）方法的文献，并介绍了关键问题。然后，它确定了洪水对孟加拉国儿童的影响，并分析了社区发展的传统应对机制，强调了这些机制可以改进的地方。最后，它分析了减少灾害风险的利益攸关方如何让儿童参与减少灾害风险的进程，并确定了孟加拉国将减少灾害风险的地方化方法纳入主流的机会和差距。这将有助于更好地了解减少灾害风险的主要利益攸关方如何在自然灾害期间保护儿童。鼓励制定长期的、对儿童敏感的减少灾害风险战略是这一进程的重要组成部分。
Children are particularly vulnerable to the effects of natural disasters. This article aims to gain a deeper understanding of the specific effects of natural disasters on children and how they could better be involved in the disaster risk reduction (DRR) process. The article begins with a review of the literature published on the Child-led Disaster Risk Reduction (CLDRR) approach and describes the key issues. Then it identifies the effects of floods on children in Bangladesh and analyses the traditional coping mechanisms developed by communities, highlighting where they could be improved. Finally, it analyses how DRR stakeholders involve children in the DRR process and identifies the opportunities and gaps for the mainstreaming of a CLDRR approach in Bangladesh. This should contribute to a better understanding of how key DRR stakeholders can protect children during natural disasters. Encouraging the building of long-term, child-sensitive DRR strategies is an essential part of this process.
