| Summary: | Following situations referred to as natural disaster (caused or not by humans), the concept of care (Tronto, 2008, 2012) is concrete because care activities become the main concern of everyone in order to ensure the vital needs of populations and of their immediate environment. In our societies, care is mainly carried out in an assigned or constrained manner by women in society (Nurock Parizeau, 2022) ; therefore the present contribution is interested in how these activities, during a climatic catastrophe where a spontaneous democracy of care is taking place, are visible or not when they are carried out by everyone and over a large territory. In the context of increasing and worsening risks, vulnerabilities and climate disasters (RE6 GIEC, 2023), it is accepted that women will be increasingly vulnerable (European Parliament, 2012 ; CESE, 2023 ; Centre for Gender and Disaster, 2021 ; ONU, 2002 & 2009). This contribution therefore proposes to combine the concepts of care and gender to analyze and make visible processes that contribute to reinforcing, perpetuating and increasing gender inequalities and the vulnerability of women in a post-climate disaster territory.
My situated knowledge (Haraway, 1988), as a resident and researcher who experienced the Alex storm (2020) in the Roya valley (06), allows me – from the impacted territory – to question the recognition of the role and place of women in this post climate catastrophe environment. In order to question the invisibilization of women in their participation in the careof the post-disaster territory, the article analyzes media sources and political visibility of women and men in times of crisis (short time of emergency ) and during the (re)construction of the territory (long term).
This contribution creates the possibility for women in the Roya valley to propose collective practices of care activities as a protest and/or subversive practices in order respond to the failure of local public policies to take them into account. |
