Many organisations who do important work on the front line of human rights and/or (non-human) animal rights, know the struggles of an efficient communication towards the world. They constantly need to reinvent their communication strategies in order to attain the results they hope for.
Some of the struggles many non-profit organisations encounter are:
- Human rights fatigue
In a world where sad stories and bad news are ubiquitous, audiences are often too over-saturated to care
- Being stuck in victimised portrayals of the target group
Victimisation, infantilisation and so-called “poverty porn” contributes to negative stereotypes and does not help the cause
- Failure of obtaining the desired results
Beautiful campaigns are still not enough to mobilise people to act
