Rapid Gender Analysis of North and South Eastern Floods

The North and Southeastern flood has been unprecedented in its nature, severity, and timing affecting 11 districts in August 2024. It claimed 59 lives and affected 5.8 million people. In the affected areas, 3.05 million women and 78,362 pregnant women are most vulnerable.

GiHA Working Group has undertaken this Rapid Gender Analysis to (i) analyse the differential impacts of the flood on women, men, girls, boys, people with disabilities, and people from gender-diverse groups; (ii) inform the HRP programming and implementation based on the differential needs of different genders and most vulnerable groups; and (iii) facilitate advocacy for a more gender-responsive preparedness, response, and recovery plans. This RGA focuses on four key areas: 1)Shelter/Housing; 2) WASH; 3) Food security and income 4) Safety and Security of Women and Girls.
