Paragraph 3, page 245
Disaster risk reduction requires the involvement and collaboration of the whole society. It also requires empowerment and inclusive, accessible and non-discriminatory participation, with special attention to those disproportionately affected by disasters, particularly the poorest. It is important to integrate gender, age, disability and cultural perspectives into all policies and practices, promoting women's and youth leadership. In this context, special attention should be given to enhancing organised voluntary work by citizens.
