Women's Resilience to Disasters Knowledge Hub!
 
Today, UN Women launched in partnership with the Australian Government the full Women’s Resilience to Disasters (WRD) Knowledge Hub, during the UNDRR Support Group meeting with Member States.

The WRD Knowledge Hub is the first "one-stop-shop" for all gender-related disaster, climate change and resilience knowledge, research, publications, tools, and expertise. It further provides a platform for women's organisations to amplify their messages and demands around gender-responsive resilience.

"We really need to focus on women's capacity building in disaster risk and climate change adaptation to help women make informed and efficient decisions."

“I have the ability to do anything. We need to work together to reduce barriers and to see what ways will help our people who are at risk, to address their needs and to include them. 'Nothing about us, without us' – it is our global tagline.”
