IVSA HICAST participated in a program organized by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) focused on Gender Equality, providing an important platform for learning and engagement on inclusive development in the agricultural and veterinary sectors.
The program brought together diverse stakeholders, allowing participants to gain insights from experts, policymakers, and practitioners working toward advancing gender equality. Key discussions highlighted the importance of equal opportunities, inclusive participation, and empowering women and marginalized groups within food systems and related professions.
Through this experience, members of IVSA HICAST gained valuable exposure to real-world perspectives on gender issues, strengthening their understanding of social equity and its relevance in veterinary and agricultural fields. The session served as an enriching opportunity for professional growth, awareness, and meaningful dialogue.
