“…Embracing a combined One Health and gender approach can enhance our ability to analyze, prevent, and mitigate risks at the human-animal-environment interface more effectively, identifying target groups and influencing factors [ [43] , [44] , [45] ]. Gender dynamics play a crucial role in the risk of infection for many zoonoses, including leptospirosis, due to asymmetric gender roles prevalent in most societies.…”

“…These broad commitments to ensuring and mainstreaming gender equality are starting to trickle down into policymaking for animal health emergencies. Some scholars have examined gendered issues under a One Health framework, citing gender inequities as a neglected aspect of One Health agendas (30). They cite a lack of gender-sensitive frameworks for zoonoses, human-wildlife conflict, and environmental pollution.…”

There has been increasing recognition of gender-based inequity as a barrier to successful policy implementation. This consensus, coupled with an increasing frequency of emergencies in human and animal populations, including infectious disease events, has prompted policy makers to re-evaluate gender-sensitivity in emergency management planning. Seeking to identify key publications relating to gendered impacts and considerations across diverse stakeholders in different types of animal health emergencies, we conducted a non-exhaustive, targeted scoping review. We developed a matrix for both academic and policy literature that separated animal health emergencies into two major categories: humanitarian crises and infectious disease events. We then conducted semi-structured interviews with key animal health experts. We found minimal evidence of explicit gender responsive planning in animal health emergencies, whether humanitarian or infectious disease events. This was particularly salient in Global North literature and policy planning documents. Although there are some references to gender in policy documents pertaining to endemic outbreaks of African swine fever (ASF) in Uganda, most research remains gender blind. Despite this, implicit gendered themes emerged from the literature review and interviews as being direct or indirect considerations of some research, policy, and implementation efforts: representation; gendered exposure risks; economic impact; and unpaid care. Absent from both the literature and our conversations with experts were considerations of mental health, gender-based violence, and intersectional impacts. To remedy the gaps in gender-based considerations, we argue that the intentional inclusion of a gender transformative lens in animal health emergency planning is essential. This can be done in the following ways: (1) collection of disaggregated data (race, gender, sexual orientation, etc.); (2) inclusion of gender experts; and (3) inclusion of primary gendered impacts (minimal representation of women in policy positions, gender roles, economic and nutrition impacts) and secondary gendered impacts (gender-based violence, mental health, additional unpaid care responsibilities) in future planning.

“…The 66th session of the Commission on the Status of Women in 2022 highlighted the lack of gender disaggregated data as a concern relating to environmental data. Global efforts to tackle environmental health issues, such as the One Health agenda, recognize that data collection still needs to better consider gender inequities and the full potential of women as agents of transformative change (Garner et al, 2022).…”

This report highlighted opportunities in the ASEAN region for more equitable and inclusive policymaking on air pollution – in terms of developing evidence-based policies through use of gender disaggregated data collection and analysis and in terms of the impacts of their implementation. To illuminate the unequal burdens of air pollution, the authors shared case studies in the ASEAN region of approaches that better use and disaggregate data. These case studies demonstrate how policy decisions need to be based on data that highlight the differentiated and gendered health and socio-economic impacts of air pollution and other environmental challenges. The authors also reported on previous research in the region that examines air pollution and health impacts with a gender and intersectional lens, which has been minimal to date.
