Equity and inclusion in disaster risk reduction building resilience for all

The document examines how marginalized groups—including women, children, the elderly, and people with disabilities—are disproportionately affected by disasters due to systemic vulnerabilities and are frequently excluded from disaster risk reduction (DRR) decision-making. It argues that these groups should be viewed as active agents of change rather than passive victims, leveraging their local and traditional knowledge to enhance community resilience. The authors critique the 'Zero Draft' of the post-2015 DRR framework for lacking enforceable language on social inclusion and recommend that future frameworks mandate disaggregated data collection and the promotion of human rights to address the root causes of vulnerability.
