Why This Conversation Matters
While global conversations on gender equality are essential, the lived experiences of women in Small Island and Caribbean communities are often underrepresented.
Voices After the Storm centers women’s voices, community leadership, and partnership-driven recovery efforts emerging from Jamaica — connecting local realities to global dialogue at the Commission on the Status of Women.
Community-Led Disaster Response for Women and Girls
A powerful dialogue examining how women-led, partnership-driven approaches strengthen resilience, dignity, and long-term recovery in crisis-affected communities like Jamaica and Small Developing Island States.

The Women-Led Recovery Toolkit is a practical, field-informed resource designed to guide organizations, leaders, and partners in building community-centered, sustainable recovery efforts. Grounded in real-world experience, it equips users with strategies to center women as leaders, strengthen partnerships, and drive lasting impact in crisis-affected communities.
Dive in and you will see how the Toolkit translates lived experience into action—providing a structured approach for designing inclusive, community-led recovery efforts that elevate women as leaders and strengthen long-term resilience.
Developed by Inspire and Serve CEO Jewel Daniels Radford, she says the toolkit is a call to move beyond helping communities recover—to empowering them to lead their own resilience.
