Fighting the patriarchy is an everyday duty, but at least today we get to shout it together: we've had enough! Enough 'jokes', enough condescension, enough questioning our competence, enough harassment, enough misoginy. Happy International Women's (rights) Day 💜 #8M #IWD2024

There is no solution to BTV-3. Enhancing biosecurity and keeping stock inside with good ventilation can help, but the industry desperately needs a vaccine. Development could take months. – at The Netherlands

The European industry must come together to support, develop and deliver an effective vaccine for farmers to protect them against the devastating impacts of BTV-3. Many thanks to @LTONederland for organising. Some 📷 below 👇🏻 – at The Netherlands
