Global work
Project 1882 works globally to make a difference for the animals that are the most exploited and suffer the worst. We strive for a world where animals are respected as sentient beings with the right to their own lives. As the suffering the animals are subjected to is not hindered by national borders, we work both locally and globally to make the biggest possible difference for the animals.
Although Project 1882 has its member base in Sweden, much of the overall work takes place internationally. Project 1882 is active in several different countries and has numerous international collaborations in order to effectively influence legislation, corporate policies and international trade agreements, among other things.
Collaborations increase the possibilities for organizations, campaigns and projects in various countries to achieve their objectives. There are several informal collaborations between Project 1882 and organizations around the world. Below is a list of some of Project 1882's most important and formal collaborations.
Eurogroup for Animals
Eurogroup for Animals is an umbrella organization with more than 80 member organizations working within the EU. The focus is to influence politicians within the EU to improve animal welfare legislation. A great deal of the Swedish animal welfare legislation is based on directives and regulations from the EU.
Open Wing Alliance
Open Wing Alliance is a global coalition consisting of approximately 100 organizations that are working as a unit towards ending the abuse of chickens worldwide. Together, the coalition has achieved for more than 3,000 corporates pledging to ditch cage eggs or take more responsibility for chickens through European Chicken Commitment.
Fur Free Alliance
Fur Free Alliance is a network of organizations working to stop the cruelty the fur industry inflicts on animals. The joint Fur Free Retailer Program aims to provide consumers with information on which fashion companies have actively taken a stand for animals and do not sell or market fur products.
World Federation for Animals
World Federation for Animals was founded in 2021 by Project 1882 and 17 other animal rights and animal welfare organizations. The purpose has been to gather organizations worldwide to focus on political issues that are affecting animals globally. The work includes influencing the FAO and other UN bodies, where a stated objective is for animal welfare to be included as one of the global sustainability goals.
Aquatic Animal Alliance
Aquatic Animal Alliance is a coalition of organizations working to ensure that fish and other aquatic animals live their lives free from suffering. Fish are by far the most exploited animals and the ones who suffer the worst. There is still an increase of fish factories being established around the world and Project 1882 is working tirelessly to improve the lives of these individuals.
