Creating personal time by rotating duty
Liberation from heavy burden of stereotypical gendered division of labour
In evacuation centers, there are many cases
where only women are in charge of preparing
food. A long-term evacuation life can often
make them exhausted. In one evacuation
center, female leaders from a disaster
prevention association started preparing every
meal with other women. They rotated their
duties to give their bodies a rest and go to see
their own houses. Their burden became less
as they only had to take a turn once every
three days.
Even when stereotypical gender division of
labour cannot be avoided immediately after a
disaster; it is important to create a situation,
which reduces the burden on particular
people by changing systems, increasing help
from youth, children and men, and utilizing
volunteers.
