N2  - From the current available literature on disasters and
on gender and resilience, we know that disasters affect
social relations. How shocks and stresses lead to changes
in gendered norms and power relations and whether
these changes tend to be to the detriment or the benefit of
marginalised groups is still uncertain, however. Moreover,
to what extent these changes are transient or may have
the potential to challenge durably existing inequalities is
unclear. The aim of this paper is to compile evidence from
academic studies and Non-Governmental Organisations’
(NGOs) documentation about the impacts of disasters
on power relations and gendered norms and to discuss
how these types of changes affect people’s resilience.
The objective is to highlight knowledge gaps to better
understand why and how resilience programming can
integrate social dimensions of vulnerability and foster more
equal power relations. (From the Introduction). Record #6609
