Decolonizing the funding model for animal rights and welfare - Katya Burns [IARC2025]

The numbers of farmed animals confined and killed for human consumption in the developing countries of the Global South far exceed those in the Global North. Across Africa and Asia, new, vibrant, civil-society and non-governmental animal rights organizations are rising to the challenge. Yet, the approaches to funding these organizations remain dominated by a "Western" philanthropic model that cannot adequately address the unique challenges of the non-Western Global Majority or take advantage of the many opportunities for raising funds that exist across the Global South. As a result, the bulk of funds for animal rights and welfare remain squarely ensconced in the Global North. This presentation will highlight the many wonderful and innovative opportunities for raising funds in ways that appropriately reflect African and Asian realities, by linking the rising indigenous work in animal rights and welfare to existing national and regional priorities, financial flows, and cultural norms and values.
