In disasters and crises, gender and sexual minorities are not only impacted but also play key roles in the response, whether officially or through community action.

Visibility matters: we’re here, we’re queer, and we’re helping to save lives in emergencies.

Inclusion saves lives.

Many LGBTQIA+ people miss out on vital warnings because messages do not reflect their realities or reach the spaces where they feel safe.

Accessible, trusted and community shaped information strengthens safety for everyone.

Good communication is at the heart of #disaster preparedness. If people cannot understand or trust a warning, it will not work.

We need messages shaped for real communities, in the right languages and formats, and tested with those they are meant to reach.

More here: bit.ly/Toolkit_emer...
A blue box with the title check list contains five items with empty tick boxes: messages available in local and minority languages, use of visual and audio formats, accessibility for people with low literacy or disabilities, engagement of trusted local messengers, and the ability to monitor and address misinformation. Below the box is a green tick symbol and a brief tip encouraging testing messages with community focus groups to ensure they are understood and trusted.

The Emmy wins for Adolescence spotlight identity and the “masculinity crisis.”

In disasters, masculinities are rarely addressed, yet they shape risk and recovery.

Research exists but lags far behind.

More here: bit.ly/4prCpIm

#InclusiveDRR
A bright red background with a single glowing lightbulb hanging at the top centre, symbolising an idea or illumination. Beneath it, bold black text states: “Disasters are shaped by masculinities. Masculinities are shaped by disasters.” The phrase highlights how gender norms influence disaster experiences and how crises, in turn, reshape ideas of masculinity. At the bottom, white text reads “#InclusiveDRR,” linking the message to wider conversations on inclusive disaster risk reduction.
