Abstract

This paper explores children’s voices in disaster risk reduction (DRR) policy spaces and their capacity to communicate disaster risk to their parents and larger community. It challenges the traditional development approaches which perceive children as passive victims during and after disasters. The argument is supported by field research in El Salvador and Philippines conducted by Plan International, which highlights the contribution of children to minimising risks in disaster–prone developing countries.
