Episode notes

To build advocates and activists for animal welfare or animal rights, it is important to invest in the region. In-person events like African conferences have proven to be successful. Workshops, meetings, and conferences should be organized to bring people together. Publicity through social media and sharing within networks is crucial. Funding groups to carry out projects and interventions is also effective.

Aurelia is the Africa co-ordinator for the Open Wing Alliance where she supports African organisations with their cage-free campaigning efforts.

In this episode Aurelia walks us through the state of the advocacy movement in Africa and the unique complexities of campaigning in this region. We hear Aurelia’s thoughts on progress in Africa and the importance of flexibility when devising and testing the strategies and tactics required to end cages in Africa.
