Network Strategy and Overview
The Women for One Health (WfOH) Network is an interconnected community of One Health (OH) professionals advancing the participation of women and under-served groups in One Health research, policy and practice to enhance gender equity, diversity and inclusivity. The idea of the network was sparked by the initiative of a few female One Health advocates who met in November 2022 at the World One Health Congress in Singapore and discussed the importance of gender-balanced representation in One Health events.
Our Vision
Our vision is to support and empower women and other under-served groups embracing a diverse, equitable and inclusive One Health approach to better deliver its benefits to our communities and ecosystems.
Our Mission
Our mission is to support women and other under-served groups by fostering One Health knowledge, action, community empowerment, and leadership to drive transformative change for improved health and well-being for all.
