Pain Rachel - Gender - Based Violence And Layered Disasters Place Culture And Survival - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: This book investigates the widespread and persistent relationship between disasters and gender - based violence drawing on new research with victim - survivors to show how the two forms of harm constitute layered disasters in particular places intensifying and reproducing one another. The evidence is now overwhelming that disasters and gender - based violence are closely connected not just in moments of crisis but in the years that follow as the social economic and environmental impacts of disasters play out. This book addresses two key gaps in research. First it examines what causes the relationship between disasters and gender - based violence to be so widespread and so enduring. Second it highlights victim - survivors own accounts of gender - based violence and disasters. It does so by presenting findings from original research on cyclones and flooding in Bangladesh and the UK and a review of global evidence on the Covid - 19 pandemic. Drawing on feminist theories it conceptualises the coincidence of gender - based violence disasters and other aggravating factors in particular places as layered disasters. Taking an intersectional approach that emphasises the connections between culture place patriarchy racism poverty settler - colonialism environmental degradation and climate change the authors show the significance of gender - based violence in creating vulnerability to future disasters. Forefronting victim - survivors experiences and understandings the book explores the important role of trauma and how those affected go about the process of survival and recovery. Understanding disasters as layered casts light on why tackling gender - based violence must be a key priority in disaster planning management and recovery. The book concludes by exploring critiques of existing formal responses which often ignore or underplay gender - based violence. The book will be of interest to all those interested in understanding the causes and impacts of disasters as well as scholars and researchers of gender and gender - based violence.
