(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2025-04) Algodon, Shamica Mae A.; Babda-a, Irish P.
Despite progress in gender mainstreaming in DRRM, persistent societal attitudes and roles continue to drive discrimination and unequal participation, underscoring the need for inclusive strategies that address gender inequalities and strengths. This study assessed the gender roles in Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM) in the municipality of Bacnotan, La Union. Utilizing a descriptive research design, data were gathered through surveying 336 participants from Municipal DRRM Councils and Barangay DRRM Councils across Bacnotan’s 47 barangays. Results indicated significant participation of all genders in DRRM activities spanning prevention and mitigation, response, preparedness, and rehabilitation and recovery. From these insights, the study identified persistent genderrelated issues such as lack of inclusive facilities, lack of representation in leadership, and inadequate policies.
