Breaking Barriers for Gender and Health Equity Through Research

The second conference took place in September 2024 and focused on gender and health equity. The conferences convene key stakeholders from academia, industry, government and policy sectors, facilitate knowledge exchange and the breaking of silos, and promote cooperation for the goals.

“One Health, Gender and Feminism” – a special issue of CABI One Health

Although gender is one of the most important social and analytical categories used in public health research, there remains a gap in integrating gender related concepts in human health, animal health, the health of the environment and in the interdisciplinary One Health debate. One Health should be driven by inclusiveness and equity on all levels of society. In consequence, the One Health methodological definition should include feminist theories and gender concepts.

“Gender and Agriculture” – a special issue of CABI Agriculture and Bioscience

In the agriculture sector, gender affects women and men’s roles, access to and ownership of resources and ability to make decisions. Integrating a gender perspective in agriculture is important to realize gender equality and women’s empowerment, enabling women to participate and benefit from development. It is also important to improve effectiveness of agriculture programs and policies, to improve food security, reduce poverty and increase resilience to climate and other risks.
