Defending Go Vegan World’s Educational Adverts from Challenge
Go Vegan World’s educational ad campaign has run across the UK and Ireland, on buses, live screens in city centres, major televised sporting events, national newspapers…. However, behind the scenes they have faced continual efforts to prevent them from educating the public. There have been many refusals to run ads, and many complaints to the Advertising Standards Agency seeking to have ads banned. This talk will look at some of the complaints and how GVW successfully defended the ads.

There is some confusion about whether or not vegans are protected from discrimination, and to what extent we are entitled to be provided for in school, hospital, employment etc. Go Vegan World’s In-House Legal Counsel will outline the main legal rights that apply to vegans, under human rights and equality law, and how these rights can be used to defend against discrimination and push for better provision.
