Post-disaster recovery must not expose women to violence. After the Gujarat earthquake, women gained roles in reconstruction — but some faced backlash at home. AIDMI calls for action to link GBV prevention with housing, assets & livelihoods. Recovery must strengthen safety.

Urban heat is not only a climate risk — it’s a protection risk for thousands of women’s enterprises. AIDMI calls for safer, cooler cities by integrating GBV prevention into Heat Action Plans, mapping unsafe hotspots, and promoting gender-sensitive cooling. #16DaysOfActivism

Schools must be safe for every girl — before, during & after disasters. Emergencies increase risks of harassment, yet GBV in schools is still overlooked. Safety, dignity & protection must be part of every DRR plan. #16DaysOfActivism #EndGBV #SchoolSafety #GirlsSafety #AIDMI

AIDMI launches a 16-day campaign on a critical truth: GBV rises during disasters. Women & girls face greater risks in floods, cyclones, heatwaves, droughts and displacement—yet GBV is rarely included in DRR or climate plans. Resilience must include safety.
