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 bit.ly/3Kuq8NA

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

“As @IFADPresident Gilbert Houngbo has said, the #pandemic has underscored the need to prioritize inclusiveness, fairness & equality”- Antonio Rota. #Women & #youngfarmers must be given protection, recognition & resources, incl access to #WorkingLivestock on which they often rely

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

Did you know that 50% of #veterinary #medicines in #Kenya are distributed by #AgroVets (paraprofessionals)? By training and #mentoring them we ensure that they are able to choose the right treatment ➡️ bit.ly/34DH6rl
#WOHC2020 @OneHealthPF #OneHealth #AMR
Could not agree more @OIEAnimalHealth 🙌🏽
@TheBrooke recognise the essential role that vets and paraprofessionals play in safe guarding against #AMR

#VeterinaryServices have a role in the effort to control #AntiMicrobialResistance spread.
They:
- inform on proper doses
- monitor best practices
- encourage implementation of #OIEInternationalStandards
By doing their duty, they protect the health of all.

🔸 80% of workers have no running #water and 60% live below the #poverty line.
🔸 50% of animals have #hoof problems and 30% have wounds.
🔸 Brick Kilns are the 3rd largest #coal consumer in #SouthAsia.
The solution? #OneHealth: bit.ly/2JlXgNV #WOHC2020 @OneHealthPF
#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.
#WOHC2020
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

Really interesting talk on #bushmeatttade ...the thought of ‘leaking luggage’ 🤢
#WOHC2020
Fascinating talk from @UniofAdelaide's Dr Chaber at #WOHC2020 on the public health & biodiversity risk of the #bushmeattrade. This issue occurs with trade in animal parts, incl the #donkeyskintrade which was linked to an equine influenza outbreak by @OIEAnimalHealth in 2019. 1/2
