William Leonard - Böcker

This book marks a significant contribution to the development of queer disaster studies - exploring how disaster-related experiences and needs of sexual and gender diverse (LGBTIQA+) people manifest and differ across national, cultural, and regional boundaries from the Global North and South; from culturally diverse communities, drawing together researchers and professionals working in government, non-government agencies, emergency management, community, and humanitarian organisations. Uniquely, it contains contributions from sexual and gender diverse people with lived experience of disasters, climate change and humanitarian crises and people who have been subject to heterosexist discrimination in disaster relief and recovery-related services, as employees and volunteers.A crucial, overdue contribution to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 5: Gender Equality, this book identifies areas to further the development of just and equitable disaster, climate change and humanitarian crises policy, programs, and services that include and address the needs of sexual and gender diverse people.
