Feminism + Animal Rights

Building Alliances Against Oppression

Animal Rights Advocates Inc. is joining forces with ROAR Feminist Collective to deliver this forum for activists interested in exploring the connections between feminism, animal rights and the dynamics of oppression.

Join the related Facebook Group: Feminism and Animal Rights

Some of the themes that were explored:
  • What is feminism/s?
  • Is animal rights a feminist agenda?
  • How does sexism in the animal rights movement harm women and animals?
  • How are the bodies of women and animals commodified for pleasure and profit?
