Tato sbírka textů zkoumá prostor, kde se setkává gender a humanitární práce. Několik autorů se zabývá humanitární činností v období přírodních katastrof či provádí analýzy konfliktů. Jiní se soustředí na rekonstrukci po krizovém období a přichází s návody a doporučeními pro řešení konfliktů a následného budování míru. Autoři tvrdí, že ačkoli se nyní počítá s integrací cílů zajišťujících rovnoprávnost mužů a žen, humanitární činnosti, které ignorují otázky genderu, mohou ohrozit přežití žen a jejich rodin, mohou oslabit jejich dlouhodobou pozici ve společnosti. Nakonec také důležitý ženský potenciál může zůstat nevyužit při budování míru.

The collection of articles explores the interface between gender and

humanitarian work. Several contributors focus on humanitarian activity during natural disasters, or analyse responses to conflict. Others consider the post crisis period of reconstruction, and provide lessons and recommendations for conflict resolution and peace-building. While the difficulties or integrating gender equity goals into interventions are acknowledged, the authors argue that gender-blind responses can further endanger the survival of women and their families, weaken their long-term position in society, and also deny them the opportunity to exercise their potential as peace-builders.
