Volunteering for Animal Rights: Testimony and Limits
At what point does volunteering in animal rights shift from offering support to taking on responsibility, and how can this boundary be protected? How should volunteers manage the process of witnessing violations, and what mechanisms are needed to cope with the emotional burden?
This webinar explores the scope of volunteer roles in animal rights, including care, advocacy, monitoring, and reporting processes. Fatma Biltekin, Founder and Coordinator of the Animal Rights Monitoring Committee (HAKİM), will share practical insights on ethical boundaries, volunteer motivation, and sustainable engagement based on field experience.
Participants will gain guidance on managing testimony processes, dealing with emotional strain, preventing burnout, and building support systems through institutional collaboration.
We invite everyone who wants to develop a more conscious, balanced, and sustainable approach to animal rights volunteering to join this webinar.
The event will be held as an online webinar within the framework of the 2026 International Year of Volunteers. It is open to everyone and is completely free, including a certificate of participation.
