1. SUMMARY

The social relations between men and women, including their diverse characteristics (age, sexual orientation, skills, disabilities, mental and physical health) determine cultural practices in every community. The way they are defined creates differences in the roles and responsibilities of men and women. It also leads to inequalities in their access to, and control over, resources and decision-making. The combined effect of these differences and inequalities means that women and girls, and men and boys face different types and levels of exposure and vulnerability to natural hazard risks and disaster impacts. Gender-based behaviors and stereotypes can further contribute to gender differences, sometimes with devastating economic, social, cultural and political consequences[1].

Not all people affected by an emergency, experience it in the same way. Emergencies accentuate existing gender inequalities and the incidence of gender-based violence (GBV) often increases during and after emergencies. Gender and other social factors, including age, disability, health status, including HIV AIDS and other chronic illnesses, social status, ethnicity, etc. shape the extent to which people are vulnerable to, affected by, respond to and recover from emergencies[2]

From a gender-sensitive approach, understanding the differential risks and impacts of disasters on men and women is critical to achieving sustainable development and more effective recovery programs in communities affected by emergencies. Therefore, it is a mandate of the humanitarian organizations to adapt/modify their emergency services to consider the specific needs of the most affected, promote the empowerment of the stigmatized and discriminated populations, and the prevention, mitigation and response of sexual gender-based violence, among other key interventions to promote dignity, access, engagement and equality.

Following the IFRC Strategic Framework on Gender and Diversity 2013-2020 and the 2015 International Conference Resolution “Sexual and gender-based violence: joint action on prevention and response”, the IFRC Americas Regional Office (ARO) is committed to ensure its actions are non-discriminatory towards people of all ages and backgrounds, and to promote gender equality and respect for diversity, and integrate prevention and response to gender based violence across operations.

In 2013 the Canadian Government and the Canadian Red Cross formed a strategic partnership to strengthen local Red Cross and Red Crescent societies in targeted countries and improve the regional and international humanitarian response capacity of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. The Capacity Building for Emergency Response in the Americas Project (CERA), the Strengthening Global Emergency Response project (SGER) and the Health in Emergency project are all part of this partnership and have three principal cross cutting themes – Gender Equality and Diversity (G&D), Violence Prevention and Protection (VP) and Community Engagement and Accountability (CEA).

The CERA project works to strengthen the emergency preparedness and response capacity of five Red Cross National Societies (NS) in the Americas: Nicaragua, Honduras, Dominican Republic, Jamaica and Haiti. The National Societies, with the support of Canadian Red Cross, have the aim to integrate the cross-cutting themes into their Disaster Risk Management (DM) policies, procedures, mechanisms and support systems, to save lives, promote respect for diversity, alleviate suffering, and maintain human dignity

With the support of the Strategic Partnership projects and in cooperation with the Canadian Red Cross the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies seeks to integrate gender and diversity in their Disaster Management actions.
