Feminists for Animal Rights
Semiannual Publication
Feminists for Animal Rights seeks to raise the consciousness of
the feminist community, the animal rights community, and the general public
regarding the connections between the objectification, exploitation, and
abuse of both women and animals in patriarchal society. As ecofeminists,
we also are concerned about cultural and racial injustice and the devaluation
and destruction of nature and the earth. We view patriarchy as a system
of hierarchical domination, a system that works for the powerful against
the powerless. FAR promotes vegetarianism and is vegan in orientation.
FAR is dedicated to abolishing all forms of abuse against women and animals.
