The International Vegan Rights Alliance (IVRA) is a grassroots, not-for-profit network of individuals, and the foundational and leading authority on the subject of veganism and law.
The core mission of the IVRA is to contribute to dismantling speciesist prejudice. They endeavour to achieve this by establishing and promoting the grounds for the legal protection of vegans and by campaigning for changes in law, social policies and practices.
On May 31 and June 1, the Alliance is organizing a conference in Milan with the theme
Shifting the balance: the potential and limits of using law to support the growth of veganism.

Vegan Option Canada will be present at the event in Milan and will give a conference entitled “VOC, From a petition on mandatory vegan food options to a pan-canadian organization striving for vegan rights”
