Abstract
Women are influenced differently than men by natural disasters. Thus, nature of vulnerability of people to a natural disaster is a direct function of their gender. Based on feminist perspective, this study focused on gendered impact of natural disasters. It is evident from research studies that disaster hit people but women are much more vulnerable to disaster and specially women of developing countries due to their socioeconomic status. Mortality and morbidity rates of women all over the world is higher than that of men and the root cause of that is women’s vulnerability.
