Vienna Discussion Forum 2020
Date
The rights of women and girls cannot be compromised in emergencies as they are inalienable and indivisible according to human rights law and the Sustainable Development Goals. Crisis management must not only ensure that recovery and resilience efforts are sustainable, but also that they include the compounded needs of women during a crisis. However, given that women are very rarely represented on crisis response teams, their specific situation and needs seldom make it into stabilizing efforts; out of sight is out of mind.
