| Survey | Introduction | We conducted this survey for we believed that adolescent’s view on the current disaster relief system might give us a new perspective of the problem |
| Method | questionnaires | |
| Subject | We conducted the research on the subject ‘What do you think is the most imminent issue on reducing disaster risks?’ with four examples (inefficient aiding system, gender discrimination, poor access to information, low budget on the issue) | |
| Results | ・ 55% of the participants (130 in total) believed that the most imminent issue on reducing disaster risks is the inefficient aiding system. ・27% of the participants (130 in total) believed that gender discrimination is the most imminent issue on reducing disaster risks. |
|
| Issues | ・ We found that excessive subcontracting systems and the current bureaucratic policy are the obstacles to practical disaster aids. ・ We also found that the lack of health relief for women are causing more death or injuries after a disaster. |
|
| Action Plan | 1. We could Establish a local committee made of 3 government figures, 4 recipients of government aid representing each male, female, elderly, adolescents and 3 rescue workers 2. We could sign a petition to add necessary health products for women in the disaster aid kit, for instance sanitary pads. |
