In Guatemala, women are leading the way in disaster risk reduction by turning lived experience into lifesaving action. While some community members failed to recognize the threat of rising floods, women identified the risks that were already affecting homes, schools, and lives.
💡 Through leadership initiatives like the School for Female Leaders in Local Action, women are mapping threats and building community-based resilience. Their deep knowledge of local environments is uncovering invisible risks and driving real change.
👩🌾 This video features Lissette Minera and Norma Choc, two powerful voices in the movement to empower women in disaster risk governance. They show how women's leadership and lived knowledge can transform prevention and make vulnerable communities safer.
🌍 When women lead, disaster risk reduction becomes more inclusive, grounded, and effective.
