Gender influences people’s behaviour in various ways. This study investigates gendered (im)mobility during cyclone strikes in Bangladesh. During such strikes people have described being unable to move away from environmentally high-risk locations and situations. The Q-based Discourse Analysis used by this study shows how and why gender-roles (im)mobilised people in three coastal locations during the cyclones. People (and especially women) explained that failing to evacuate to the cyclone shelters when a disaster strikes was not uncommon. Gender, or feminine and masculine social roles, played a significant role in these evacuation decisions while facilitating or constraining their mobility. The gendered subjectivities presented different accepted social behaviours and spaces for women and men. In this way, immobility (social, psychological, and geographical) was strongly gendered. Masculine roles were expected to be brave and protective, while female ‘mobility’ could be risky. Women’s mobility therefore ended up being constrained to the home. In other words, when the disaster strikes, everyone did not have the same ability to move. These empirical insights are important to inform climate policy in a way that it better supports vulnerable populations worldwide as they confront global environmental changes today and in the future.

性别以各种方式影响人们的行为。这项研究调查了孟加拉国遭受飓风袭击时的性别流动。在此类罢工中，人们描述了无法远离环境高风险的地点和情况。这项研究使用的基于Q的话语分析显示了在飓风期间如何以及为何在三个沿海地点动员了性别角色。人们（尤其是妇女）解释说，在灾难袭来时没有疏散到飓风避难所并不罕见。性别或女性和男性的社会角色在这些疏散决策中起着重要作用，同时促进或限制了他们的流动性。性别主观呈现出男女接受的不同社会行为和空间。这样，不动（社会，心理，和地域）。男性角色被认为是勇敢和保护性的，而女性的“机动性”可能具有风险。因此，妇女的流动性最终仅限于家庭。换句话说，灾难来袭时，每个人的移动能力都不一样。这些经验性的见解对于以适当的方式为气候弱势群体提供支持，以更好地支持世界各地的脆弱人群，在他们面对当今和未来的全球环境变化时至关重要。
