With the generous support of USAID Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA), the third workshop on gender and disasters will be held at Kocaeli University (KOÜ), Turkey on 8-11 October 2008. On the basis of the progress that was achieved in the two previous workshops (Florida 2000 and Hawaii 2004), while continuing to work on the link between gender equality and disaster risk for effective disaster management, the Kocaeli workshop would like to focus on cultural issues and expand the given framework towards gender-related issues and the influence of values and culture in disaster risk reduction.
