World Vegan Organisation (WVO)

Vegan Movement Goes
Into Mainstream, Uniting Nations,
Races And Backgrounds Into A Family

74 years after Donald Watson coined the term “vegan” in the year 1944 when he co-founded the Vegan Society in England, Vegan leaders and activists from around the globe gathered in Taiwan and agreed to unite Vegan movements and activists from many different countries and create a single organization, later named the World Vegan Organisation (WVO). Together, they set out on their goal to create a greater impact while supporting each other's efforts in each delegate’s country. 

The WVO’s mission is to help support and inspire global vegan activists through vegan outreach programs and awareness projects worldwide. These programs include vegan conferences, festivals and special events, regular vegan meet-ups and get-togethers, compassionate education projects, and numerous other vegan awareness programs. 

The World Vegan Organisation’s aim is to bring together vegan activists from around the world from many diverse backgrounds, races, cultures, and communities to unite with the common goal of promoting veganism for the benefit of people, animals, and the planet, while at the same time promoting intercultural education, non-violence for all living beings, and inter-racial and community harmony.
