gender and environmental hazards  

Definición

  • The human experience of environmental hazards is not only determined by forces in nature but also is contingent on social, political, economic, and cultural processes. An emergent literature in the hazards field emphasizes the concept of vulnerability, thereby drawing attention away from the “naturalness” of environmental hazards and toward the underlying reasons for the differences in exposure or impact that exist geographically.
