Abstract
In response to the tsunami which hit eight Asian countries on 26 December 2004, the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific(ESCAP) initiated a project to increase understanding of how this natural disaster had affected people who were particularly vulnerable due to social marginalization, disability status, age and gender. Studies were commissioned in Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Thailand and national workshops were organized in those countries.
The workshops provided a forum for the voices of people affected by the tsunami to be heard and to put on record their special needs, concerns and priorities. Participants exchanged experiences on the conditions which exposed some people more than others to vulnerabilities and discrimination in times of disaster and steps that could be taken to counteract and mitigate the consequences for such people. Ways in which women were affected differently from men and the implications for appropriate policy changes were also considered.
The studies and workshops also served to identify lessons learned, as well as appropriate strategies and policies. A regional workshop brought together representatives from the project countries, along with those from India and the Maldives, for a broader exchange of experiences. Participants adopted recommendations directed to governments, aid agencies and others.
