Women's Vulnerabilty to a Seasonal Hazard: Their Capacity to Adapt and Their Resilience
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 February 2012
Abstract
Women as a group may be more vulnerable to the impact of hazards, but at an individual level, they also have capacity to adapt to changing circumstances in ways that contribute to their own resilience. This paper provides examples of the ways in which some women adapt to a recurrent natural hazard to which they are exposed, in turn, providing insights on adaptive capacity at a personal level.
