UNDRR selected Professor Dilanthi’s research on women’s leadership and participation in disaster governance as the cornerstone key message for the 2026 International Women’s Day, 8th March 2026 – that empowering women strengthens disaster resilience. It serves as a powerful reminder: Impact isn’t measured by local consensus; it is measured by global change. It is available via the UNDRR link and on their web page: https://www.preventionweb.net/publication/documents-and-publications/comprehensive-framework-empowering-women-disaster-risk
