For #IWD2022, meet @Shereene_Vet our Global Animal Health Adviser!

How would you like to #BreakTheBias? From the 400m poor women livestock keepers (@FAO 2009) to the growing number of women veterinarians, women play an increasingly important role in #animalhealthcare globally.

Happy World Vet Day to all my wonderful colleagues around the world working to improve animal health and welfare every single day 👩🏽‍⚕️👨🏻‍⚕️🐄🐎🐖🐏🐈‍⬛🐕🐓

Dr @Shereene_Vet, Global Animal Health Advisor at Brooke, discusses the difficulties #vets face in accessing #essentialmedicines and how Brooke is working for change. #WorldVeterinaryDay https://t.co/KNilUkoHOc

[Brooke 🐴🧡 @TheBrooke]

This #WorldVetDay, Brooke is highlighting the difficulty that many vets around the world face in gaining access to essential #medicines and vaccines. Whilst #vets may have the knowledge and skill to treat an animal, they are unable to do so without the right tools.

Women make up over 37 % of 🌍's rural agricultural employment, rising to 48% in low-income countries. Yet, less than 15% of all landholders are women. @FAO’s Ilaria Sisto highlights the constraints on women in agriculture & how to tackle these #Gender #BuildingBackBetter #SDG2

SDG 13: #CLIMATEACTION...

Horses, donkeys & mules boost community #resilience in the face of #disasters & #climate shocks. They enable communities to collect water or food from greater distances, helping families to relocate when needed, & even rebuild infrastructure. #COP26

[Shereene Williams @Shereene_Vet]

#AnimalHealth and #AnimalWelfare matter to more than just animals.

We need to look beyond animals as simply disease vectors.

Healthy and happy animals support healthy and happy people.

@TheBrooke recognise the important role that animals play in people’s lives.

[Kate Fletcher @AffectiveEquine]

Good #animalwelfare is not just good health, yet poor welfare, such as suboptimal management and inhumane handling, negatively impacts health, hence why
@TheBrooke takes a holistic and multifaceted approach to programmatic interventions
