Why We Exist

The Five Core Pillars

The Accord rests on five interconnected pillars. They describe why the movement exists and shape how every piece of Accord infrastructure is built.

Building stronger connections, partnerships, and collective action across animal advocacy communities in Global South.

Facilitating the sharing of skills, experience, expertise, and innovation across organisations and professionals.

Strengthening the long-term health, wellbeing, leadership, and sustainability of advocates and organisations.

Improving discoverability, coordination, and strategic alignment across the sector.

Advancing understanding of interconnected harms and supporting collaborative responses to complex challenges.

How the Pillars Are Delivered

Each pillar is delivered through a Core Infrastructure.

The Accord does not just name what matters. It builds the systems that turn each pillar into practice.

Cross-learning across animal rights, welfare, legal, veterinary, academic and grassroots actors.

Create structured opportunities for organisations to align around shared themes while maintaining their independence.

Strengthening the long-term wellbeing, resilience, and sustainability of advocates and organisations.

Create visibility and coordination across fragmented advocacy spaces.
