摘要：Women constitute a minority in the geoscience professional environment (around 30%; e.g. UNESCO, 2015; Gonzales, 2019; Handley et al., 2020), and as a consequence, they are underrepresented in disaster risk reduction (DRR) plan- ning. After examining the Sendai framework documents and data outputs, Zaidi and Fordham (2021) pointed out that the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015– 2030 (SFDRR) has failed to promote women and girls’ in- clusion in disaster policy effectively. In addition, it repre- sents a missed opportunity to tackle gender-based issues in DRR (even beyond the female–male dichotomy). Neverthe- less,practicalactionshavebeenpromotedandappliedinsev- eral contexts with promising results, but often they only re- main lessons learned in localised environments (Zaidi and Fordham, 2021). Instead, the global gender gap index, which includes political empowerment, economic participation and opportunity, educational attainment, health, and survival, re- veals that the average distance completed to parity is only 68% in 2019. Although the gap closing rate has constantly improved,itwilltakeabout135.6yearstocloseitcompletely (WEF, 2021). These numbers do not yet account for 2020– 2021 data, where the global pandemic has more strongly impacted women, their career, their opportunities, and their health in comparison with men (e.g. Alon et al., 2020; Chan- dler et al., 2021; Yildirim and Eslen-Ziya, 2021).
