In 2022 we launched a conference series aimed at exploring how research and science can support the SDG 5, its targets and its intersection with other SDGs, including SDG 3 and SDG 10. The second conference took place in September 2024 and focused on gender and health equity.

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.
