About the product

In 1998 hurricane Mitch battered southwestern Honduras, the Pacific coastline of Nicaragua and El Salvador. This paper analyses the socio-economic effects of hurricane Mitch using a gender approach and proposes new analysis indicators for crisis situations that may better reflect women’s disadvantageous position relative to men.
