Women as a force for change: four years of activism
This report is an account of four years of grassroots activism, from the aftermath of Japan’s 3/11 earthquake and tsunami to the Third World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), held in March, 2015 in Sendai, a city severely damaged by 3/11. The report documents the efforts of activists from their initial direct help for the victims of 3/11, including addressing the acute and unnecessary suffering of women in the evacuation centers, to later focus on planning and reconstruction policy reform at all levels of government in Japan.

Voluntary Commitments

The organization has no registered commitments.

The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
