Feminists for Animal Rights

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.
