Resilience of Iranian women in natural disasters: a qualitative study
To improve the resilience of women in natural disasters, it is necessary to address gender discrimination in policies and planning, including ensuring women's equitable access to education, property ownership, employment, and leadership positions. The root causes of discrimination in various cultural, social, political, and economic dimensions must be addressed. We recommend that disaster management policies include specific components to guarantee the protection of women's legal rights in different communities.
