As we mark World AMR Awareness Week, we stand at a crossroads: without sustained commitment and funding, hard-won gains risk being lost.

Let’s just say filming with donkeys (and our new Women’s Ambassador Annette) didn’t go quite to plan. 😆

Meet our new Women’s Ambassador, beloved actress Annette Badland!

She’s helping us highlight how women’s lives, livelihoods and working animals are deeply connected, and why gender equality matters for both.

“It was shocking to see in the film that products from the donkey skin trade can be bought here on Amazon.”

The premiere of From Skin To Skincare brought tears, courage, and determination to end the #donkeyskintrade for good.

We are deeply concerned reading this article praising the economic benefits of the #donkeyskintrade in Pakistan. This #crueltrade slaughters more than 6 million donkeys a year globally. If this was just in #Pakistan, its entire #donkeypopulation would be gone in a year. www.dawn.com/news/1948409...
The potential of donkey farming in Pakistan
The blooming industry could become an unexpected contributor to export diversification, rural incomes, and stronger economic ties.

🇵🇰 Brooke Pakistan teams are still on the ground, supporting working horses, donkeys & mules, and the communities who rely on them, after devastating floods hit Pakistan.

Many villages remain underwater, and equines are vital in helping people reach safety. 🧵

🚨 The Donkey Skin Trade poses a serious threat to donkey populations worldwide. At Brooke, we’re working with governments, regional bodies, and animal welfare partners to protect donkeys, and the communities who rely on them.
