Her Leadership
When Cyclone Pam – the worst cyclone to ever hit Vanuatu – struck in 2015, women like Dorothy stepped up to play an important role in the emergency response. Women took the lead to make sure essential resources were shared fairly.
Vanuatu is now in its cyclone season.
Disasters like cyclones are getting more severe, not just in the Pacific but around the world. When a storm, flood or tsunami strikes, women and children are the worst affected.
If women are prepared for the next disaster, they’ll be able to take charge during an emergency and help protect their children, communities and livelihoods.
That is why women in Vanuatu urgently need your support to ensure they’re ready for when the next disaster hits their community.
