  • Gender Relations in Post-Earthquake Kathmandu, Nepal
    MASTER THESIS Gender relations in Post-Earthquake Kathmandu, Nepal Name: Elorry Mahou Student Number: 941025540130 E-Mail: [email protected] Thesis Supervisor: Dr. Elisabet Rasch University: Wageningen University and Research (WUR) Program: Master International Development Studies Specialization: Politics and Governance of Development (PGD) Abstract The earthquake that stoke Nepal in 2015 had a considerable impact on the population as 8,790 people died and more than 22,300 people were injured. Numerous reports and articles address the effect of the earthquake. However, a lack of gendered impact of the earthquake’s assessment and evaluation is observed. This thesis examines how women, and grassroots organizations in Kathmandu, cope with the gendered impact of the earthquake that took place in April 2015 in Nepal. To understand the gendered lived experience of the catastrophe two significant concepts are used throughout the whole research: actor-oriented approach and gendered impact of the earthquake. They allow a bottom-up understanding of the lived experience of women and Nepalese NGOs, as well as their coping strategies on health and safety impacts of the earthquake. This qualitative research is conducted with the help of semi-structured interviews, participatory observation, informal conversations, and photography. It is argued that by using an actor-oriented approach, the thesis shows elements and dynamics of gendered impacts of the earthquake and coping strategies from women and Nepalese NGOs that would not be visible otherwise. The case of the 2015 earthquake shows that the gendered impact of the disaster is multilayered and dynamic and that women were are at a greater risk of health problems and insecurity.

  • Black List of the Air Operators
    25th June 2015 LEGAL ANNOUNCEMENT The civil air transportation authorities of each member states of the European Union may check only the aircrafts of the airlines that provide flights to and from the airports of the European Union; and due to random nature of such checks, it is not possible to check each aircraft that lands at each European Union airport. The fact that the airline is not indicated on the list of the Association does not automatically mean that such company complies with the respective safety standards. If the company that is currently indicated on the list of the Association assumes that it complies with the necessary technical standards and requirements indicated in the respective international safety standards, it might request the Committee to initiate the proceedings to withdraw it from the list. All possible effort was made to verify the exact identity of all airlines indicated on the list of the Association – particularly with regard to the following properties: specific (and unique) letter codes for each airline by the ICAO organisation of the country that has issued the certificate as well as the certificate numbers (or the operating licence) of the air transport operator. Nevertheless, the complete verification was not in all cases possible due to the general lack of information on some airlines that could be borderline with the respected international system of the air transportation or entirely inconsistent with it. For this reason we cannot exclude the fact that there might be companies that conduct their business activities in good faith under the same business name as some of the airlines indicated in the list of the Association.
