In this episode… Aryenish describes how she inherited her respect for animals from her parents, who bonded as teenagers while protecting stray dogs on the streets of Karachi, Pakistan. She remembers her first experience as an activist, campaigning with the help of her mother, against a draconian frog dissection project that was mandated by her school. Aryenish shares what she learned from her years at The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine and what prompted her to found Encompass . Aryenish tells us about the issues caused by the lack of representation within veganism and the challenges present when promoting diversity within our movement. We talk about how animal rights is an ally-led movement and the need for diversity as our movement is only as strong as the voices of which it is composed. Aryenish shares tips on how each of us can promote inclusivity in our activism and create a better world for human and non-human animals.
