Help raise awareness about animal rights in Sweden

Every summer since 2006, Djurens Rätt has arranged a summer tour in Sweden. We visit music festivals, markets, cultural events, Pride festivals and other events to spread information about the situation for the animals in factory farms, fur farms, animal experiments and other areas where animals are being exploited and suffer. This year we focused on spreading awareness about the chicken industry, with the goal to guide more people to make animal friendly choices in their everyday lives.

After two years of the pandemic we were finally back on the streets more or less as usual, campaigning for animal rights, and specifically, better conditions for the chickens in Sweden. 

As you might remember is you have received our previous reports, Djurens Rätt focuses on creating as much impact as possible for as many animals as possible. That’s why we have been working on raising awareness about the chicken industry during the last editions of our summer tour - and so we did this year as well.

In total, we visited 24 different events this summer, carried out 64 days of campaign work and in 13 different cities! We have attended some of Sweden's biggest music festivals such as Lollapalooza, Way out West, Malmöfestivalen, but also several local events in smaller cities, like Hörby, Uddevalla and Trollhättan. We have talked about animal rights with visitors during Pride weeks, as well as with politicians and other decision makers, when we attended the biggest political gathering in Sweden, Almedalsveckan. 

More than 50 volunteers took part in the summer tour! The tour would not be able to arrange without our amazing volunteers. We are very happy that so many volunteers chose to take part in the Djurens Rätt summer tour. Together they volunteered for more than 1500 hours, all for the cause of the animals. 

Thanks to the fantastic team and the engagement of you, our donors in the summer tour, we have achieved; 

• We could welcome 590 new members to Djurens Rätt, who all took the fantastic choice to be part of Sweden's oldest and biggest organisation for animal rights and animal welfare. 
• We have handed out more than 5000 magazines and flyers, full of plant-based recipes.
• 68 people took part in our chicken free challenge, where they signed up for testing chicken free vegan recipes for four weeks. One completed challenge equals one saved chicken! 
• Had thousands, and thousands of conversations about animal rights !

Within the coming months we will start planning the summer tour for next year. Our goal is to create even more engagement and change for the animals!

Djurens Rätt's summer tour is made possible by your support  - together we create change for the animals and inspire more people to make animal friendly choices. 

Thank you!
