ABSTRACT This study draws on qualitative data about gendered vulnerabilities and resilience in situations of urban flooding in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, India. Women in informal urban spaces comprise marginalized groups who face greater risks in times of disaster owing to their inferior socioeconomic status and the hazardous geographical space they occupy. This study provides insights into the lived experiences of women in such spaces that are shaped by unequal gender relations and flooding. Women's narratives are analyzed and presented as part of my research findings. Unequal gender relations, combined with socioeconomic disadvantage, are important factors for their vulnerability and limited resilience. The perspectives of urban disadvantaged women, which have been long ignored, need to be actively integrated into disaster risk reduction planning. The implications of a gendered approach to disaster risk reduction by prioritizing the empowerment of urban disadvantaged women is discussed and suggested.

性别关系、城市洪水以及女性在非正式城市空间的生活经历

摘要 本研究利用了印度孟买都会区城市洪灾情况下的性别脆弱性和复原力的定性数据。非正规城市空间中的妇女是边缘化群体，由于她们的社会经济地位低下和所占据的地理空间危险，她们在发生灾害时面临更大的风险。这项研究提供了对女性在由不平等的性别关系和洪水影响的空间中的生活经历的见解。作为我的研究结果的一部分，女性的叙述被分析和呈现。不平等的性别关系，加上社会经济劣势，是造成她们脆弱性和恢复力有限的重要因素。长期以来被忽视的城市弱势女性的观点，需要积极纳入减少灾害风险规划。讨论并提出了通过优先赋予城市弱势妇女权力来减少灾害风险的性别方法的影响。
