<![CDATA[This study examines gender inclusivity in natural disaster management, specifically regarding the provision of private spaces for women during the emergency response phase following the eruption of Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki in East Flores Regency, East Nusa Tenggara. The eruption, which occurred on November 3–4, 2024, resulted in more than 24,320 people being displaced, some of whom were housed in Temporary Shelters (Huntara) in Konga Village, Wulanggitang Subdistrict. This study employs a qualitative approach using a case study design and a literature review method, drawing from national regulations, international policy documents, reports from humanitarian organizations, and relevant scientific journals. The results indicate that the conditions in the Huntara do not yet meet the principles of gender inclusivity: bathroom and toilet facilities are not separated by gender, the physical condition of the buildings is substandard, and sanitation facilities are located far from the housing units. These conditions increase women’s vulnerability to various forms of gender-based violence (GBV) and threaten their right to privacy and dignity. These findings indicate a significant gap between the existing regulatory framework—including Law No. 24 of 2007, BNPB Regulation No. 13 of 2014, Presidential Instruction No. 9 of 2000, the 2018 Sphere Standards, and the 2015–2030 Sendai Framework—and implementation on the ground. This study concludes that a genuine commitment is needed from local governments and the BNPB/BPBD to fully integrate a gender perspective throughout the entire disaster management cycle, from the pre-disaster phase through to rehabilitation, in order to ensure the fulfillment of the rights to privacy, security, and dignity for all disaster victims.]]>
