Feminist Anti-War Resistance (FAR or FAWR, Russian: Феминистское антивоенное сопротивление (ФАС), romanizedFeministskoye antivoyennoye soprotivleniye (FAS)) is a group of Russian feminists founded in February 2022 to protest against the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. In its first month, FAR became "one of Russia’s fastest-growing anti-war campaigns", attracting more than 26,000 followers on Telegram.[4]

On 23 December 2022, the Russia's Ministry of Justice added the movement to the so-called list of "foreign agent".[5] In April 2024, the movement was labeled as an "undesirable organization".[6]
