Abstract

As this briefing has demonstrated, the evidence available to date shows that the tsunami has had a greater impact on women than on men. In each of the three locations considered, the information (though partial) consistently demonstrates that many more women than men appear to have been killed in the disaster. The briefing also shows that in Indonesia, Sri Lanka and India, problems are already becoming apparent as a result of this disproportionate impact. Action needs to be taken now if we are to avoid short term impacts turning into long-term problems.
