113. We note that women and girls, especially those belonging to the poorest segments of society, are among those who are affected disproportionately during and in the aftermath of crises and disasters. We reaffirm our commitment to put in place gender-responsive policies and actions to address crises and disasters, including by ensuring women’s full, equal and effective participation and leadership in decision- making, building their capacity for preparedness and resilient livelihoods.
