Campaigning against factory farming and cages in Africa

Aurelia Addiambo, the Africa coordinator at the Open Wing Alliance, discusses the rising trend of factory farming and the use of cages in Africa due to increased animal product consumption. She highlights the unique complexities of animal advocacy and campaigning in the region. The Open Wing Alliance, a global coalition, works through corporate campaigns to end the abuse of chickens. Already with over 90 organizations from six continents on board, they have secured over 3,000 cage-free commitments from companies. Efforts to expand representation in underrepresented regions like North Africa and engage organizations and stakeholders, including the media, are seen as promising approaches.
