In Africa, organizing public protests against companies is considered a criminal offense, so organizations take a softer approach of dialogue and negotiation. However, progress is being made as Unilever reported 100% cage-free usage in Africa. This shows that engaging companies, sensitization, and the concern of retailers and governments are making a difference. Overall, the outlook is optimistic.
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.
