Gender-sensitive disaster management strategies remain underdeveloped, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Significant gender disparities exist in disaster management, where women often face greater risks and have less representation in decision-making processes. Thailand ranks 74th on the Gender Inequality Index (GII) with a score of 0.310 in 2022 showing moderate progress toward gender parity in health, education and income. These disparities are pronounced, especially in the context of climate-induced disasters like floods. Gender-transformative disaster management aims to address these inequalities by empowering women, enhancing their leadership roles, and challenging systemic barriers that limit their engagement in disaster risk reduction (DRR). This paper attempts to identify challenges and approaches focusing on integrating gender-sensitive policies, improving access to resources, and gathering sex-disaggregated data to ensure that disaster response strategies are equitable and effective. As Thailand faces ongoing floods in 2024, adopting this approach is critical to achieving a more inclusive and resilient recovery, where women can contribute as key actors in shaping the future of disaster management.
