Shelter From the Storm- A transformative agenda for women and girls in a crisis-prone world
Abstract
This year's report, "Shelter from the Storm: A Transformative Agenda for Women and Girls in a Crisis-Prone World", focuses on UNFPA's humanitarian response in the wake of natural disasters, conflicts and other emergencies.
It's a particularly timely topic for Asia-Pacific, the world's most disaster-prone region. The report contains many examples from across Asia-Pacific which, together with stories from crises elsewhere, clearly demonstrate why women, girls and young people must be at the centre of humanitarian response, not only as beneficiaries but active players in shaping their own destinies and well-being -- as well as the resilience of their wider communities -- in the face of formidable challenge
