Gender mainstreaming and gender analysis in work addressing risk reduction: G...Oxfam GB
Understanding how gender relations shape women’s and men’s lives is critical to disaster risk reduction (DRR). This is because women’s and men’s different roles, responsibilities, and access to resources influence how each will be affected by different hazards, and how they will cope with and recover from disaster. This presentation contains help and advice on mainstreaming gender in DRR work. This presentation is part of Oxfam GB's Gender and disaster risk reduction training pack available at www.oxfam.org.uk/genderdrrpack.
This project represents a way of developing an
interface to detect driver drowsiness based on continuously
monitoring eyes and DIP algorithms. Micro sleeps that are short
period of sleeps lasting 2 to 3 seconds are good indicator of
fatigue state. Thus by continuously monitoring the eyes of the
driver by using camera one can detect the sleepy state of driver
and timely warning is issued.
Aim of the project is to develop the hardware which is very
advanced product related to driver safety on the roads using
controller and image processing. This product detects driver
drowsiness and gives warning in form of alarm and as well as
decreases the speed of vehicle.Along with the drowsiness
detection process there is continuous monitoring of the distance
done by the Ultrasonic sensor. The ultrasonic sensor detects the
obstacle and accordingly warns the driver as well as decreases
speed of vehicle.
I can not emphasize enough how important it is to stretch all your muscle groups on a daily basis. We all seem to be focused on cardiovascular workouts and strength training - which is great! However, when it comes to stretching there are very few who understand the importance of keeping their muscles healthy.

1. WYO - Environmental Youth Work
Delia, Aada, Miro, Jarkko and Shobhana
"Youth work is about empowerment –
supporting young people to increase their confidence in
expressing themselves, their needs, their desires, the
fulfilments. It’s about them being able to communicate with o
ther people and make constructive decisions while taking
into account the different options available and the possible
consequences." (Young, 2006)
Sercombe, H. (2010). Youth Work Ethics. Los Angeles: SAGE Publications Ltd.
(p.130).
2. What is environmental youth work?
“Environmental youth work means nature education and environmental
upbringing of youth and children.” Annina Wallinsalo (field visit, February 1,
2017)
One of the main goals is to create and support sustainable development and
lifestyle
Personal and significant nature experiences
Individual learning, AWARENESS → respecting global nature
3.
4. Why is it important?
Climate change
To increase awareness of importance of nature, each person has a
tremendous impact on environment and vice versa
Capitalism has caused overspending of the natural resources, which affects
especially the third world citizens.
“ The loss of lives, homes and livelihoods, the major displacement of people,
the significant trauma associated with reconstruction and the sheer scale of
these disasters indicate the link between environmental degradation and
significant social impacts. Social workers are deeply implicated in responding
to this emerging and devastating challenge ”
McKinnon & Alston. (2016) Ecological Social work. (p.2).
5. What is Ecological Social Work?
The practice of ecological social work has been around since the late 1970s
As environmental awareness has increased in society, social workers have taken a
bigger role in caring for the environment
Most people outside of social work think of this profession in terms of social
programs, such as child protection services and drug rehabilitation, but it goes
beyond this limited definition to include all aspects of society and human ecology.
The job of social workers is to improve the living conditions of a society, and a
large part of that work involves studying and reshaping the surrounding ecology
As populations grow and become more diverse, the need for social workers
increases. There will always be a need for people to help families transition from
one place to another, both metaphorically and geographically. The most effective
methods for this task lie in the field of ecological social work.

6. Interdisciplinary research in developing ecological social theory for social work

its youth services.

15. Strenght
The work of Environmental work unit, Helsinki, is remarkable. Their idea of inclusion of youths
in conservation of environment is very important in today’s context. The work they are doing
has impressed many and has a strong impact in the bond between nature and youths (humans).
Few major strengths are mentioned below.
1. the main strength of environmental work relating to and including youths motivates young
people to preserve nature.
2. letting them enjoy in nature provokes the relaxation.
3. The environmental work unit also helps to strengthen the bond between youths and
nature.
4. Gives youths the sense of authority and responsibility, Ruuti. Ruuti is the Youth
Department’s participatory budgeting model called RuutiBudget that gives young people
authority over the funds and the activities of their local youth work units.
5. The Nature School days deepen the youngsters’ relationship with the nature and teaches
them a sustainable way of living.
6. It promotes experiences, insights, environmental activity and empowering in the nature.
16. Areas of development
There are few things which can be done to improvise the way youths are being
involved with environment, and they are as follows:
1. the youths should be given the knowledge of the nature in a way that they
feel responsible towards the environment they are living even after the
camps are over.
2. the realization of nature as the home of every living being will encourage the
bond between youths and nature, and that can be done through a deeper
level of knowledge and understanding.
3. besides the environmental work unit, the adventure and knowledge should be
taught from early age continuing through all the stages in life
