Today, on International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction, Australia is launching a new initiative, in partnership with UN Women, to empower women in Fiji, Kiribati and Vanuatu to lead disaster prevention, preparedness and recovery solutions. Through the new ‘Women’s Resilience to Disasters Programme’, Australia will share experiences and lessons learnt from bushfires and COVID-19, and support women’s disaster resilience and leadership in the Pacific. Together with our Pacific family, Australia continues to help build a region that is more inclusive, resilient and stable, which benefits us all. #DRRDay #OnlyTogether Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade UNDRR UN Women Twitter: https://twitter.com/MarisePayne/status/1448206853461069825?s=20 Facebook: https://fb.watch/8ClS0ASw0n/
