摘要自然灾害后，对妇女和女童的暴力行为，包括性暴力，可能会增加。这篇文章提供了尼泊尔的证据，尼泊尔在性别平等方面取得了进展，但对妇女和女童的暴力仍然是一个地方性问题。自地震发生以来，涉及妇女活动家和非政府组织的研究表明，防止对妇女和女童的暴力行为和保护妇女的救灾工作仍然面临挑战。营地和临时住所中的妇女和女孩因暴力风险和缺乏隐私而感到威胁和不安全。人道主义援助、医疗保健和灾害应对可以挑战对妇女和女童的暴力行为，并为妇女和女童提供安全的空间。这篇文章借鉴了尼泊尔基层妇女活动家的观点，并为发展和人道主义工作者分享了在紧急情况下挑战和尽量减少对妇女和女童的暴力的步骤方面的经验教训。
ABSTRACT Violence against women and girls (VAWG), including sexual violence, can increase after natural disasters. This article provides evidence from Nepal, a country where progress has been made on gender equality but VAWG remains an endemic problem. Research since the earthquakes involving women activists and non-government organisations indicates the continuing challenges facing disaster response efforts to prevent VAWG and protect women. Women and girls in camps and temporary shelters feel threatened and insecure due to the risk of violence and lack of privacy. Humanitarian aid, health care, and disaster responses can challenge VAWG, and offer safe spaces for women and girls to be established. This article draws on the views of grassroots women’s activists in Nepal and shares lessons for development and humanitarian workers about steps to be taken to challenge and minimise VAWG in emergency situations.
