About GADAus

Gender and Disaster Australia (GADAus) promotes the prevention and control of violence, abuse and discrimination against women, children and LGBTIQA+ people and men’s self-harm and suicide, before, during, and after emergency and disaster situations.

Holding a vision for an Australian society that recognises and acts to prevent the impacts of harmful gendered stereotypes before, during and after disasters, we work to inform inclusive and evidence-based responses to disaster and emergency management.
