Webinar: What's Gender Got To Do With It?

This thought-provoking webinar explores the critical, yet often overlooked, role of gender in the fight against antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in animal health systems. Hosted by the Gear Up Consortium in collaboration with the Fleming Fund, the session brings together global experts to discuss how gender norms and inequities shape exposure to AMR risks, access to treatment, and the effectiveness of interventions – particularly in low-resource and livestock-based settings.

Through a combination of conceptual frameworks and real-world case studies from Tanzania, the webinar demonstrates how AMR responses that ignore social and gender dynamics risk being ineffective – or even harmful. Presenters from ILRI, the Global Strategy Lab, and the Institute of Development Studies share new research, including a practical gender analysis framework and field insights into informal medicine use, decision-making hierarchies, and One Health approaches. This is an essential watch for researchers, policymakers, vets, and practitioners working at the intersection of health, equity, and sustainable agriculture.
