Abstract

This book will be a global first and original in nature by bringing leading scholars and practitioners together using a theoretical frame of ‘disaster justice’ to tie together and showcase the experiences, capacities, barriers, challenges, and potential for inclusion of SOGIESC people in hazards, disasters, climate change and humanitarian work.

This Edited volume will comprise chapters contributed by people from across the world including the global north and south, and on all aspects related to sexuality and gender diversity associated with hazards, disasters, climate change and humanitarian crises. Critically, we intend for the book to include chapter contributions from people working in NGO sectors and community-based service agencies, as
well as from practicing disaster risk reduction actors and emergency management organisations as well as researchers and people with lived experiences. It will address the absence of people with diverse SOGIESC in the policy and practice of disaster management and humanitarian response globally. It will also presents tools and frameworks to assist governments, emergency managers, NGOs and others include better people with diverse sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, and sex characteristics in their work
