Although disasters threaten all people who experience them, they do not affect all members of society in the same way. Its effects are not solely restricted to the economic sphere; they also affect the physical and mental health of those who suffer from them, having a particular impact on women and limiting their life chances. The aim of this study was to examine the impact the 2010 Haiti earthquake had on the seropositivity of female survivors.
Using data from the Demographic and Health Survey, this study examines the impact of the 2010 Haiti earthquake on gender relations associated with the probability of being HIV positive through the differences-in-differences strategy.
A differential of four percentage points is observed in the probability of HIV seropositivity between men and women, favoring men. Additionally, it is observed that the probability of seropositivity intensifies when the cohabitation household is headed by a woman.
Disasters are not indifferent to the gender of the people affected. In the second decade of the 21st century, the conclusions obtained show, once again, the need for incorporating the gender perspective into the management of natural hazards in the field of health. This is the case of the differential exposure to HIV after the earthquake in Haiti.
尽管灾难威胁到所有经历过灾难的人,但它们并不会以同样的方式影响社会中的所有成员。其影响不仅限于经济领域;它们还会影响到受灾者的身心健康,对妇女产生特别影响,并限制她们的生活机会。本研究旨在探讨 2010 年海地地震对女性幸存者血清阳性率的影响。
本研究利用来自人口与健康调查的数据,通过差异分析策略,研究 2010 年海地地震对与 HIV 阳性概率相关的性别关系的影响。
男女之间的 HIV 血清阳性概率存在 4 个百分点的差异,有利于男性。此外,还观察到当同居家庭由女性领导时,血清阳性概率会加剧。
灾难对受灾者的性别并不漠不关心。在 21 世纪的第二个十年,所获得的结论再次表明,需要在健康领域的自然灾害管理中纳入性别视角。海地地震后 HIV 的差异暴露情况就是这种情况。
