Feminists for Animal Rights is an ecofeminst organization that is dedicated to ending all forms of abuse against women and nonhuman animals. As ecofeminists we recognize that the abuse of women and nature is intimately connected in patriarchal society. As ecofeminist animal advocates we view the exploitation of women and animals* as an expression of a common patriarchal worldview, which manifests itself in both sexism and speciesism. We recognize that violence against women and animals, whether actual or threatened, is a product of this worldview and we work in nonviolent ways to eliminate that reality. |
