Abstract

Women suffer most during disasters. It was no different in the case of the Indian Ocean tsunami. The responses of different agencies as well as that of government shows that even in the 21st century, men continue to be seen as the breadwinners of the family—the loss of their assets and means of earning are considered more grave than the loss of women’s livelihoods. This happens even if it is proved, time and again, that women contribute equally or even more to the income and wellbeing of a family.
