The action “In the name of invisible victims” and taking other’s blindfolds off
On Saturday, July 23, 2022, VivaBiH once again went out in public with its activist group. The action “In the name of invisible victims” was the opportunity to show the unnecessary cruelty towards animals. Our performance carries that name, because it perfectly shows the truth of people turning a blind eye to the suffering and pain of non-human animals and the message we want to send. Unfortunately, most people are not aware of the fact that about 70 billion land animals are killed annually in animal industries. If we add marine animals, which are measured in tons, those numbers are even higher. These are devastating facts, but many choose to remain ignorant and blind to these facts rather than face the truth.
Veganism is the moral duty of everyone!
“Veganism is not a matter of opinion, lifestyle or particular circumstances. It is a moral obligation that binds us – all of us – just as do moral obligations that involve the fundamental rights of humans.” – Gary L. Francione
Our organization organized a public street event called “Change my Mind” on Tuesday the 28th of June 2022.
We set up a table on the street with the writing “Veganism is the moral duty of everyone”. Next to that, we also had a call to action, precisely a call to discuss and debate the above-mentioned writing and it said “Change my mind”.
VivaBiH took part in a conference in the USA
Only a few get to do what they truly love in life. It is a special privilege to be able to work in the animal rights sector and to work on promoting veganism in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is an even bigger privilege and honor to be a part of a big conference whose goal is the empowerment of vegan activists. Perhaps just now, Ajdin Arnautović might be able to fathom this amazing opportunity and how much it has changed him. We wanted to share with you a little fraction of his experience while attending the conference.

The “Meal of Justice” performance had a big impact on the citizens of Sarajevo
“You may never know what results come of your actions, but if you do nothing, there will be no results.” Mahatma Gandhi
Last Saturday, May 28, 2022, VivaBiH marked World Hunger Day with its action “Meal of Justice”.
We did this performance with our activist group with the desire to attract the attention of the citizens of Sarajevo and encourage them to think about the connection between veganism and world hunger.

“Iftar in the spirit of empathy” was a success!
“Iftar in the spirit of empathy” was a success!
On Saturday, April 23 rd 2022, we organized our event “Iftar in the spirit of empathy”.
The month of Ramadan is a special opportunity to do good and let go of bad habits and create new, more useful and healthier ones. This month encourages us to be better people towards ourselves and others and invites us to do good.
The “SAVE THE SEA” campaign opened up another ecology perspective
Our organization did an educational campaign in March called “Let’s Save the Sea”.
The goal of the campaign was to show the citizens what the future holds for us regarding the seas and our drinking water if we continue to consume animals!
Without understanding the problem, we will not be able to protect water and its surfaces. It is, therefore, necessary to raise public awareness and tackle this global problem.
BE PART OF VivaBiH ACTIVISM GROUP
Our organization is looking for hardworking MEMBERS who want through the work of this activist group give their voice to the voiceless.
Are you worried about the way animals are treated, primarily in the food industry and you feel helpless? Do you want to advocate for the rights of all animals? Are you proactive and don’t wait for things to happen to you but take the matter into your hands?
If the answer to all three questions is YES, we’re looking for you!
Our program VegOdluka’22 has successfully come to an end
As you already may know, for the second year in a row, we’ve been running our program VegOdluka.
With most people coming up with their new year’s resolutions, a lot of people also start with veganism in January and we wanted to promote veganism among the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Our Achievements in 2021.
Each type of activism has its downfalls. Being a vegan activist in Bosnia and Herzegovina is a great challenge, therefore we are very excited about our ideas’ further development, as well as our organization’s development.
During a euphoric holiday celebration, it was impossible not to recall our successes, be they greater or smaller. Isn’t every success greater if we did it for a higher cause?
