This fact sheet introduces the Framework for Integrating Rights and Equality (FIRE), developed by the Building Resilience through Inclusive and Climate-adaptive Disaster Risk Reduction in Asia-Pacific (BRDR) Program. The framework provides a six-dimensional approach to integrate human rights and gender equality into disaster risk reduction (DRR) laws, policies, and practices from national to local levels.

• The Framework for Integrating Rights and Equality (FIRE) was created by the Building Resilience through Inclusive and Climate-adaptive Disaster Risk Reduction in Asia-Pacific (BRDR) Program to address the tendency of DRR approaches to focus on either human rights or gender equality, but rarely both.
• The FIRE approach consists of six dimensions designed to inform DRR law, policy, and practice: 1. Fundamental rights and equality: Focuses on international standards and how gendered structures affect the enjoyment of rights and access to resources. 2. Non-discrimination: Addresses inequality based on identities and socioeconomic characteristics, recognizing that these causes intersect. 3. Participation and access to information: Promotes inclusive, gender-sensitive participation and the removal of barriers such as social norms and stereotypes. 4. Governance systems and structures: Aims to improve DRR laws, accountability institutions, and civil society platforms to address institutionalized exclusion. 5. Agency and empowerment: Focuses on strengthening the capacity of marginalized groups to exercise rights and influence policy. 6. Social norms and context: Focuses on transforming the social and gender norms that produce inequality and vulnerability.
• The BRDR program utilizes the FIRE framework to investigate how inclusive, rights-based, and gender-equal approaches are understood across different contexts to reduce gendered risk and ensure protection for all.
