The document discusses a program in Satkhira, Bangladesh that formed self-help groups for people with disabilities to increase disaster preparedness and livelihood opportunities. It found that participating in the groups helped empower members by building trust, knowledge, and norms within the groups. Members gained confidence and skills in disaster preparedness and response. The groups also reached outwards to advocate for disability rights and representation with disaster management committees. The research demonstrated how engaging people with disabilities can influence decision-making and lead to more inclusive policies.
5th International Disaster and Risk Conference IDRC 2014 Integrative Risk Management - The role of science, technology & practice 24-28 August 2014 in Davos, Switzerland
Disasters disproportionately affect persons with disabilities. Disproportionate risk for persons with disabilities related particularly to difficulties an individual may have functioning, such as walking or hearing, and barriers to accessing information and services. Here's a summary of evidence from Cyclone Pam and Tanna Island, Vanuatu.

YARD is a tool for engaging with communities to design and validate public space interventions. It provides a new way to engage the public to co-create better places through augmented reality (AR): YARD lets users choose and place objects into real space, building virtual scenes to plan and test design interventions that improve the quality of the public domain.

Caste is not just an Indian phenomenon, it is global and internationally recognized in the UN! Documented experiences of Super Cyclone in Orissa, Gujarat earthquake and Tsunami in India led to the confirmation of the menace of caste based discrimination and exclusion being rooted in the wider society and that it was at work even in the times of disasters. The assumption on which the humanitarian agencies, federal and state authorities, and the general society operate, that „disasters hit everyone equally‟ got shattered when we witnessed discrimination and exclusion of Dalits in disaster relief and rehabilitation. The Dalits and marginalised sections are more vulnerable to the effect of disasters for their already impoverished and outcast position in caste and class divided society. Through this report, National Dalit Watch, a unit of National Campaign on Dalit Human Rights (NCDHR), wish to share the highlights of its key Advocacy initiatives from the time of its inception in 2009 to 2012. These actions were taken at the government & CSOs levels, to make DR & DRR inclusive to caste affected communities.

Dr Margo Greenwood (March 2017) Community- Based Participatory Research: A S...Sightsavers
This presentation was delivered at IAFOR’s Asian Conference on Education and International Development (ACEID) 2017 in Kobe, Japan.
Presentation abstract:
Community-based participatory research (CBPR) in an education context equitably involves teachers, pupils, community members, organisational representatives and researchers, with a commitment to sharing power and resources and drawing on the unique strengths that each partner brings. The aim through this approach is to increase knowledge and understanding of a given phenomenon and integrate the knowledge gained into interventions, policy and social change to improve the health and quality of life of those in the school community. Sightsavers, a disability-focused iNGO, has been implementing a community-based participatory research approach (CBPR) within its education and social inclusion research in the global South. This paper describes the CBPR methodology, how it works within international development, and its impact on Sightsavers interventions in schools. Specific reference will be made to working with teachers as peer researchers – including those with disabilities, training material for peer researchers, CBPR ethical principles, and community analysis of data.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

A map of Bangladesh, with a marker showing the location of Satkhira – the district where the research took place
Two maps showing the district of Satkhira. The map to the right shows the Upazilas (sub-districts) in Satkhira that were visited as part of this research: Tala, Asasuni and Shyamnagar
This image shows the Union Parishad building in Padmapukar Union that withstood cyclone Aila in 2009. All surrounding trees and buildings were destroyed, dramatically transforming the landscape.
This image shows the Union Parishad from behind. The concrete building is now isolated amongst a sea of saline water left behind from storm surges associated with Aila. This water has rendered the previously fertile land unproductive.
This image shows the front door of a house, and a previous water mark left by months of waterlogging. The mark, shown in a red circle, is about 8 inches above the front step.
This images shows the same house as the previous image, from a distance.
This images shows a red line marking the estimated height of the watermark on the front door of the house. It shows the waterlogging was around 2-3 metres above the ground.
This image shows raised tin houses in Padmapukar Union, Shyamnagar. The height of the raised platforms suggest the water rises by 2-3 metres.
This image shows a number of households in Shyamnagar Upazila, Satkhira District. They sit behind a small raised bank next to a major river – if the water rises due to the monsoon, tidal surges or storm surges the houses are likely to be damaged.
This image shows the typical landscape in Asasuni
This image shows a poster used for a mapping exercise of a self-help group in Asasuni. The poster shows the key buildings and roads in the village that self help group members would use to evacuate in the event of a hazard
