Description
The 'Focus on Gender' series makes available in book form the contents of the Oxfam journal 'Gender and Development'. Highlighting practice as well as theory, the thematic series makes the resource available to students, researchers, practitioners and policy makers interested in particular topics. The papers in this book consider some of the dilemmas of emergency relief operations, and look at the experience of women in situations of crisis, their particular vulnerabilities, and their capacities and strengths. The need to take a developmental approach to emergencies is stressed, and to support women in their roles as family managers, and also as producers and providers.
