This week, we celebrate International Women’s Day today (8 Mar 2015) by celebrating the women who make livestock development happen.

Those of us at the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), who work in Africa, Asia and Latin America to reduce poverty, hunger, disease and environmental degradation through livestock- and research-based interventions, have put together images of  ‘women in livestock development’.

Each of these ‘WILD women’ from ILRI, from our partner organizations and from around the world is making a difference through livestock-related work.

Enjoy the day (this Sunday, 8 March) and the week!

And please remember—

Millions of women lifting themselves and their families out of absolute poverty matter to livestock development.
