Since 2023, AfA working groups have organized regional events across Asia, bringing together advocates, organizations, researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders to strengthen animal protection efforts within their local contexts.

Key Focus Areas

AfA's regional events are designed around key animal protection priorities that reflect the needs and challenges of each region. These focus areas guide discussions, knowledge sharing, and collaboration among participants.

Why AfA Regional Events?

Regional Collaboration

Knowledge Exchange

Leadership Development

Strategic Regional Partnerships

Movement Building

AfA Regional Events emerged from a recognized need for country-specific, localized collaboration across Asia's animal protection movement. Each event is co-organized with local partners to address the on-the-ground realities unique to each country.

These in-person gatherings bring together local organizations, advocates, and stakeholders working across animal welfare, policy, research, academia, and community outreach. Attendees connect across organizational silos, share challenges, exchange successes and valuable lessons that they learnt, and collectively map out strategic priorities for their national movements.

With AfA aiming to host 2 to 3 Regional Events per year, these convenings serve as a critical engine for movement-building, turning isolated local efforts into a more coordinated, effective force for animal protection across Asia.
