Foreword

In response to the tsunami which hit eight Asian countries on 26 December 2004, the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) initiated a project to increase understanding of how this natural disaster had affected people who were particularly vulnerable due to social marginalization, disability status, age and gender. Studies were commissioned in Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Thailand and national workshops were organized in those countries.
