Women empowerment in disaster recovery

在灾后恢复设计方面，评估往往侧重于可见和可量化的影响，而忽视了对妇女影响最大的各种形式的暴力和排斥（GFDRR, 2018）。COVID-19大流行也不例外。各国政府的反应主要集中在其直接影响上，而未能考虑其权衡和意想不到的后果。例如，先前在两性分工方面存在的不平等加深了，家庭暴力进一步恶化了。因此，这些情况可以作为一个机会，使灾害/危机的恢复适应性别平等和赋予妇女权力的持续积极发展。该研究旨在开发一个以设计为主导的系统，将妇女作为社区社会重建战略的主角，可以整合到现有的服务中。这可以通过应用设计研究方法来实现，例如参与者积极参与过程的共同设计。该提案建议，为了计划将妇女纳入其中的恢复，我们应该预测问题并制定灾后实施的结果。

When it comes to the design of a disaster's recovery, assessments too often focus on visible and quantifiable impacts while neglecting forms of violence and exclusion that most disproportionately affected women (GFDRR, 2018). The COVID-19 pandemic is no exception. Governments response mainly focused on its immediate effects and failed to consider the trade-offs and unintended consequences of them. For example, pre-existing inequalities in the gendered division of labour have deepened and domestic violence has been further aggravated. Therefore, these circumstances might be used as an opportunity to tailor disaster/crisis recoveries towards the sustained positive development of gender equality and women empowerment. The research aims to develop a design-led system, putting women as protagonist of the community's social reconstruction strategy, that can be integrated into existing services. This may be achieved by applying design research methods such as co-design where participants are actively engaged in the process. The proposal suggests that in order to plan recovery that integrates women, we should anticipate the problems and develop outcomes that are implemented post-disaster.
