About Project 1882
Project 1882 works globally to make a difference for the animals that are the most exploited and suffer the worst. The forgotten, hidden and often nameless animals. We want our work for animals to have as much impact as possible. That is the driving reason why we want to dismantle factory farming. Project 1882 is entirely dependent on donations.
For the animals since 1882
With effective campaigns and political advocacy, Project 1882 makes a difference globally for the animals that are the most exploited and suffer the worst. We have been a driving animal advocacy organization in Sweden and beyond since 1882.
Our vision
Project 1882 strives for a world where animals are respected as sentient beings with the right to their own lives.

What we do
Project 1882 works globally to make a difference for the animals that are the most exploited and suffer the worst. We have been doing this since 1882.
We provide information about animal welfare and bring citizens' opinions to those in power. We shape public opinion and influence legislation. We dismantle factory farming and advocate for the development of animal-free research methods. We inspire and enable consumers and companies to choose vegan options and make animal-friendly choices. With effective campaigns we engage the public, highlight animal welfare problems, present solutions and bring about concrete changes.
We strive for a world where animals are respected as sentient beings with the right to their own lives. Since animals suffer all over the world, we work both locally and globally to generate the most impactful positive changes for them possible.
Our clients are the chickens, hens, cows, pigs and other animals that need our help – we are here to give them a voice and defend their rights. That is the core of our project since 1882.
What we stand for
Animals, like humans, are sentient beings with interests and needs that must be met. We can never accept that animals are seen as commodities, as things for people to exploit for their own interests.
Through political advocacy, targeted campaigns, and fostering corporate relationships, we work toward achieving our goal: a world where animals are respected as sentient individuals with the right to their own lives.
Our policies:
Organization
Project 1882 works globally to make a difference for the animals that are the most exploited and suffer the worst. Together with dedicated staff, the organization’s volunteers drive targeted campaigns and engage in political advocacy to create meaningful change.
The daily operations of Project 1882 are led by a Chief Executive Officer along with a senior leadership team.
Impact
Since 1882, we’ve been rewriting the story for animals − one victory at a time.
Change doesn’t happen overnight but after decades of relentless advocacy, innovative campaigns, and meaningful conversations with companies and policymakers.
Our wins for the animals
What is Project 1882 doing in Ukraine?
Right now, we are continuing our efforts to help the animals directly affected by the war, in particular by supporting efforts to evacuate animals affected by the war. We are also working to phase out cages in the Ukrainian egg industry.
In Ukraine, animal rights issues have been a low priority for a long time, even before the war started. Project 1882 therefore supports both short-term and long-term interventions, including disaster responses and support for Ukrainian volunteer groups working to help animals directly affected by the war.
Another goal for the future is to end the cage age for hens in Ukraine. Although Ukraine is not yet a member of the EU, there are obligations to implement EU animal welfare legislation. As animal rights advocates, we need to ensure that this becomes a reality so that Ukraine does not risk to become a haven for cruel factory farms that leave the EU to operate under poorer animal welfare rules.
