Donate to Defence of Earth

Friends of the Earth believe that peace is a precursor to gender, climate, economic, social, and environmental justice.

Militarism and war are extensions of a patriarchal system that is both damaging to people and planet, and thus perpetuates mutually reinforcing and interlinked oppressions of colonialism, sexism, cis-heteronormativity, ableism, capitalism, and racism. As it does this it damages the environment through contamination with chemicals and radiation, clearing land and destroying habitat for bases, with training and for war operations, and contributes disproportionately to climate change.

In 2018 Friends of the Earth Australia instituted a national project concerned with dismantling this aspect of patriarchy in order to progress system change based on gender, social, and environmental justice.

Defence of Earth is a proud, national project of Friends of the Earth Australia. Friends of the Earth Australia is a deductible gift recipient as defined in the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth).
