It's commonly thought that because women play a large role in caring for livestock, they are automatically able to access the benefits, whether food, income or social capital, of having livestock. But this is not always the case!
Our guest speakers, Hazel Malapit, Jenny Maud and Katie Adam talk us through:
- The theory behind why this doesn't always happen
- How to consider who is benefitting from your livestock project
- Designing a gender-responsive training program
- How to start with qualitative data collection.
