Socio-cultural and economic inequalities between women and men contribute to women’s heightened vulnerability in disaster situations, an issue of growing concern as extreme weather events become more frequent and severe due to climate change. Women experience limited access to resources and information and a lack of representation in decision-making. In addition, they are more at risk of violence and exploitation during emergencies. This is of particular importance in the Global South, where greater reliance on natural resources for livelihoods, unstable economies, limited access to education and healthcare, and entrenched gender norms intersect to heighten the risks faced by women during climate-related disasters. Gender-responsive adaptation is an important approach to address these challenges, emphasising the principles of justice and inclusivity in the face of the impacts of climate change. This chapter presents a descriptive review of three case studies that reported gender-responsive adaptation practices in disaster management in Pakistan, Kenya, and Bangladesh, manually identifying key success factors from the cases. These three countries were chosen because they face gender challenges similar to Indonesia, such as economic disparities, limited access to education and health, and patriarchal norms that limit the role of women. These case studies provided real-world learnings about gender-responsive adaptation strategies to help guide the formulation of more inclusive and gender-equitable policies in the Indonesian context. The results found seven key success factors: (1) Gender role and perspective in risk perception, (2) Equal access to adaptive resources, (3) Education for gender-sensitive adaptation, (4) Training for adaptive capacity, (5) Inclusive social capital, (6) Farming experience and age factors, and (7) Policy and institutional gender support. The review highlighted the success of gender-responsive adaptation strategies that increase women’s access to training, education, and resources and strengthen their participation in decision-making. Integrating a gender-responsive approach across the entire disaster risk management cycle, from mitigation to recovery, not only improves the effectiveness of disaster management but also provides more equitable protection for all groups of society. The study concludes with strategic recommendations for policymakers regarding mainstream gender in the context of disaster adaptation to build more resilient and inclusive communities.
