REGIONAL EVENTS
FAC Regional Events
In June 2023, the AfA Farm Animal Coalition (FAC) hosted its first Regional Event in Viet Nam, followed by events taking place in Japan (February 2024) and the Philippines (June 2024). These in-person gatherings, organized in collaboration with local partners, have proven invaluable in uniting local and regional organizations. With additional events already planned from 2025 onward in countries like India, Pakistan, Indonesia, China, and more, FAC aims to foster deeper collaboration, share successes, and elevate farmed animal welfare efforts across Asia. These events provide unique opportunities for learning, networking, and amplifying positive change for the region's animals.
FAC Regional Philippines - June 2024
While companion animals often receive the spotlight, countless farmed animals endure harsh conditions in industrial farms. It's time to bring their stories to light and champion their cause. June 28, 2024, was an inspiring and impactful day dedicated to improving the lives of farmed animals in the Philippines. We gathered in Quezon City, Metro Manila to engage with passionate advocates, explore thought-provoking exhibits, and spark meaningful discussions that can drive real change.
