SOCIAL RIGHTS

The artist, is dedicated to addressing the unspoken biases and oppression faced by the vegan social group.

Being vegan signifies prioritizing care for others and the environment. Yet, it comes with challenges, such as veganphobia, family rejection, and social isolation. The neglect, judgment, criticism, and ridicule endured by vegans can create feelings of anxiety and self-doubt. Furthermore, there's the issue of limited spaces where vegans can comfortably express their views without being labeled as 'preachy.'

Veronika's primary focus is offering support to those who have experienced veganphobia. Her mission revolves around creating a vibrant, vegan-friendly environment that empowers individuals to embrace vegan values with style, a smile, and ease.

The non-profit initiative collection, crafted by this dedicated vegan artist is a bold statement in this regard.

Veronika champions human rights and diversity in all her activities by adhering to fair-paid policies, promoting an inclusive culture for environmentalists, animal rights activists, and vegan professionals, and actively collaborating with and supporting other vegan and eco-conscious movements, coalitions, and businesses.
