Women's Leadership in Emergencies

Women’s contributions save lives and increase equality. When women’s voices are not heard, women’s rights and needs are often not adequately met, and emergency response can reinforce inequality. Women’s equal voice, leadership, and participation challenges and changes the root causes of poverty.
