Objective:
It is becoming increasingly evident that women are affected differently from men before, during, and after disasters. This study aims to evaluate the safety, health, and privacy concerns associated with earthquakes in Kahramanmaraş, focusing on the impact on women.
Methods:
The study is a case study design within a qualitative research approach. The data obtained were evaluated using the thematic analysis method. In the study, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 24 survivors of the earthquake. The data were analyzed with MAXQDA analysis software.
Results:
The study revealed that women have various health and safety risks. The main themes include experiences related to health, safety and privacy issues, hygiene, and other problems. Lack of adequate privacy, security problems, lack of appropriate resources and specialized facilities, women's menstrual difficulties, exposure to or witnessing violence, and issues related to being alone were found to be important themes.
Conclusions:
The root causes of women's vulnerability during disasters should be identified, and programs should be designed to reduce this vulnerability. Strategies and policies based on the needs of women should be developed to reduce their future vulnerability. Inclusion of women in decision-making processes will be effective in the development of gender strategies.
