“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.

Cosecha de lluvia

Invertimos en un sistema de cosecha de lluvia, que permite mediante la captación, filtrado, almacenamiento y distribución, usar el agua de lluvia en nuestras áreas comunes. Además de la bomba eléctrica, instalamos una bici bomba, para distribuir el agua por pedaleo, con el fin de hacer actividades recreativas con el personal.
Con ello aprendimos sobre el costo de llevar agua a los hogares, disminuimos el uso del agua que provee la Ciudad de México y contribuimos al bienestar del personal.

 

We invested in a rainwater harvesting system, which allows us to use rainwater in our common areas through collection, filtering, storage and distribution. In addition to the electric pump, we installed a bicycle pump to distribute water by pedaling, in order to do recreational activities with the staff.
With this, we learned about the cost of bringing water to homes, we reduced the use of water provided by Mexico City and we contributed to the well-being of the staff.
