This statement by 60 women survivors of the tsunami and activists from India, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Malaysia, brings to attention the fact that marginalization, discrimination and exclusion of women in rebuilding families, communities and the nation has increased post the disaster. The human rights of women to safe and adequate shelter, livelihood and food have been violated; domestic violence has increased; women’s right to access lands has been denied; caste and ethnic discrimination and exclusion has increased; and armed conflict has endangered women’s lives further. The statement expresses concern about the lack of consultation with the affected people in the relief and reconstruction process, and recommends that there be: transparency about donor aid; recognition of the rights of women and children through legal and financial assistance; collection of gender disaggregated data; attention to specific issues concerning women; prevention of armed conflict in the regions; and recognition of rights to sea and coastal land.
