Gender Equality and Social Justice

Nepal is exposed to many natural hazards and human induced disasters. More than 80 percent of the total population of Nepal is at risk of multiple natural hazards, such as floods, landslides, windstorms, hailstorms, fires, earthquakes and Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs). The country is among the 20 most disaster-prone countries in the world. In part, this is because Nepal is in a seismically active zone with a high probability for massive earthquake (MOHA 2017).During the disaster, women and girls are more affected and vulnerable than men and boys. The impacts of disasters and crises are not gender-neutral, and global evidence shows that when disasters strike and humanitarian crises unfold, women and girls bear the impact.
