WHO WE ARE
Animal Equality was founded in 2006 by Sharon Nunez, Javier Moreno, and Jose Valle with one mission: to protect animals. The enthusiasm for and commitment to that mission has only grown since then and has enabled us to deliver impactful results for animals. Today, Animal Equality is one of the most effective advocates for farmed animals in the world, working in four continents on behalf of farmed animals. We are working in countries where there is the most opportunity to create lasting, systemic change for animals. We work with society, governments, and companies so that we can achieve our vision: a world in which all animals are protected and respected.
What we stand for
As an international animal protection organization, we work to end cruelty to farmed animals.
Whether we’re working to educate the public on the horrific reality inside factory farms and slaughterhouses, asking governments to adopt laws that protect animals, or encouraging major companies to implement policies that benefit animals, we never lose sight of our main goal: reduce animal suffering.

TAKING PRIDE IN DIVERSITY
At Animal Equality, diversity and inclusion have been embedded in our values since we were founded in 2006. We seek to build a diverse organization of people regardless of their race, sexual orientation, religion, age, gender, disability status, or any other dimension of individuality. Our staff comes from across the globe, including 13 different countries and four continents. In fact, 60% of all staff are female and more than 70% of leadership positions are held by women. And across the eight countries that Animal Equality works in, we hire locally so that we can best adjust our programming to maximize the impact on animals.
OUR WORK
A multidimensional approach to helping animals: Animal Equality combines four different strategic approaches to ensure progress for animals.
