Impact of Disaster on Women’s Health: Study on Dacope Upazila of Khulna District

In Dacope Upazila, Khulna, Bangladesh, the study looks at how disasters have affected the health of women in many different ways. It examines the physical, psychological, emotional, socio-economic, and environmental repercussions of recurrent natural catastrophes in the region, focusing on women's susceptibility. Rural women suffer post-disaster nutrition demands, limited choices, and healthcare privacy issues, according to the research report. Nurse education improvements, facility enhancements, and patient rights and relationship behavior legislation are suggested. Food distribution, diet promotion, and nutritional support for affected communities are stressed in disaster risk reduction methods incorporating mental health and psychological support. The result emphasizes sustainable climate change and disaster management with varied, robust, and monitoring strategies. Despite the urgent issues, the literature review lacks comprehensive studies on women's health in Dacope Upazila after disasters, emphasizing context-specific research on long-term implications, intersectional vulnerabilities, and community-based resilience programs. The study seeks to fill these gaps and promote more nuanced and effective regional women's health disaster response plans. Disasters in Bangladesh, notably in Dacope Upazila, Khulna, have devastated women's health, causing vulnerability, restricted access to healthcare, mental health issues, and livelihood disruptions. Gender-sensitive disaster response techniques, mental health assistance, healthcare accessibility, and women empowerment are essential for tackling these concerns and building community resilience.
