We are hiring for four roles for a project.
The Project: What are we setting out to do?
We are embarking on a 360° communication exercise to educate people on multiple facets of animal abuse
Make corporates aware and get them to change their policies to move towards cruelty-free supply chains in a phased manner
Work with the government on the reality behind closed doors to move for policy reform and enforcement
How are we doing this?
Through a coordinated communications campaign that brings together animal protection organisations, other NGOs working in allied areas, donors, media houses, agency partners, and thought leaders.
By uniting these stakeholders under a common banner and a rallying call to action, the campaign seeks to drive a nationwide shift in attitudes about animal sentience, encouraging behavioural shifts towards adopting a plant-based diet, and influencing policy change to benefit animals.
The campaign will kick off in two pilot cities in a few months from now and go full throttle to 30 cities over the next five years.
Who is doing this?
Funded by donors committed to animal welfare, the campaign is a collaboration between several Animal Protection Organisations (APOs). It will be driven by FIAPO, which is a federation of more than 200 animal protection organisations across India.
