4) Gender and natural disaster: Sexualized violence and the tsunami. Claudia Feltenn-Biernmann. This study looks at the consequences of natural disasters for women in the aftermath of the 2004 Asian tsunami. The author argues that sexualized violence is not adequately guarded against in such disasters and that much stronger pressure from the aid community needs to be brought to bear.
