Faiths Working Together for Animals
About
The Animal Interfaith Alliance (AIA) is a unique alliance of the world’s most influential faith based, animal advocacy organisations which speaks out on the moral treatment of animals by drawing on the combined wisdom of all faiths and worldviews. It promotes social harmony by bringing the faith groups together on an issue they all share a concern for. AIA’s activities include animal advocacy and education.
The Animal Interfaith Alliance is a United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) accredited organisation and a member of UNEP’s Faith for Earth Coalition. It is also a member of the World Federation for Animals (WFA) and Eurogroup for Animals (EfA). AIA is the proud holder of a Shining World Compassion Award from Supreme Master TV.
Why Faith Matters
People of faith make up over 80% of the world’s population. Their views make a difference and can lead to global transformation. All faiths teach compassion to animals.
Our Vision and Mission
Our Vision is a peaceful world where people of all faiths and none work together to treat animals with respect and compassion.
Our Mission is to create a united voice for animals from all of the major faiths to bring about a world where animals are treated with respect and compassion.
What We Do
Members – We bring together diverse faith-based animal advocacy organisations to be a strong united voice for animals. Meet our member organisations.
Education – We educate through our new RE Education Materials, our sponsorship of the NATRE Spirited Arts Competition and our Education Resources.
Advocacy – We campaign against cruelty to animals. We aim to put animals on the agendas of major institutions and undertake letter writing campaigns.
