The International Labor Organization has initiated a new
program of interest to the disaster community. The InFocus
Programme on Crisis Response and Reconstruction will address
the economic needs of people in societies experiencing rapid
transformation, armed conflict, financial crisis, and
natural disaster. One piece of this project is a report on
gender issues arising for women and men in the context of
economic planning, vulnerability, impact, and recovery
during disasters. I welcome your ideas and referrals, from
research reports or academic papers to field observations
and anecdote. With thanks--Elaine Enarson
