The participation of women is essential in achieving a disaster resilient society, states Ratindra Khatri of the Strategic Centre for Disaster Risk Reduction Nepal in his The Himalayan article. He urges for the elimination of gender discrimination and suggests that women should be involved in policy formulation, planning and implementation of processes. To emphasize the importance of women's role, last year's International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction 2012 focused on the theme “Girls and Women (in) Visible Force of Resilience.”
