Asian Institute of Technology ☆ Ochanomizu University Joint Workshop 2011-2012

Gender and Disaster: Responses from Young Scholars
As a part of student exchange program between Ochanomizu University and Asian Institute of Technology of Thailand, the Institute for Gender Studies holds a joint workshop on the natural hazard and disaster that both Japan and Thailand were inflicted on in 2011. The vast region of Northeastern Japan was affected by great earthquake on March 11th and Thailand was flooded by heavy rain in summer. How did such natural hazard and disaster affect local people in those areas? Did women and minorities experience disaster differently and therefore have different needs and support? Students, faculty of Gender and Development Studies, and NPO practitioners from Thailand and Japan get together to discuss the impact of devastating disasters in two countries from a particular perspective of gender and ethnicity.
