The paper analyses the socio-economic effects of hurricane Mitch using a gender approach and proposes new analysis indicators for crisis situations that may better reflect Women's disadvantageous position relative to men. The first section of the document discusses key concepts used in gender and disaster analysis, in the context of the region and hurricane Mitch. The following section examines the direct and indirect impacts, and looks at how they have affected women, as well as the responses to Mitch at three levels: first, that of individuals and their strategies for coping with the crisis; second, the actions of governments and the coordinated bodies of civil society; and third, reconstruction initiatives carried out by national and international organizations. The final section attempts to draw together the salient points and challenges suggested by the analysis. It also offers some recommendations for integrating this approach into future emergency and reconstruction scenarios and for reducing Women's current vulnerability." 2014-01-02T16:13:26Z 2014-01-02T16:13:26Z 2004-05 Texto Documento Completo 9211214467 http://hdl.handle.net/11362/5596 LC/L.2128-P en Serie Manuales - CEPAL 32 application/pdf AMERICA LATINA Y EL CARIBE HONDURAS HONDURAS LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN ECLAC
