Floods forced Zimbabwean women to leave their homes. They rebuilt their lives but here’s what they still need

The research highlights the significant role women played in community recovery, yet issues like access to resources, education, and economic opportunities persist. Understanding these ongoing needs is crucial for providing targeted support that empowers these women and fosters sustainable development in the region. This situation underscores the importance of gender-sensitive policies in disaster recovery efforts.
