World Disasters Report 2007

The 2007 World Disasters Report examines discrimination in disasters, observing that when disaster strikes, often the elderly, people with disabilities and women are among the groups most discriminated against and their views are seldom sought or heard.

Chapters include:
- Disasters do not discriminate: people do
- Overcoming multiple disasters: discriminating against minorities
- Older people and discrimination in crises
- Disability and disasters: towards an inclusive approach
- The urgency of equality: ending discrimination against women and its consequences in emergency situations
- Dealing with discrimination in disaster recovery

The report is available to download as chapters through this website.
