Together with Kasia Mak Community Builder bij Vegan Girls Club Lenneke van Gaal Lawyer For The Animals bij Stop Humane WashingAbout the speakers
Kasia Mak is a marketer and strategist on a mission to make our food system healthier, more ethical, and more sustainable. She pivoted her career into the plant-based, moving from Burger King to vegan activism. Her own experiences inspired her to start building Vegan Girls Club, a female-led community to empower and support others on their vegan journeys. Vegan Girls Club has been active for over two years, bringing together more than 300 members and hosting monthly meetups in Amsterdam, and soon beyond.
Lenneke van Gaal is a lawyer specializing in trademark law, advertising law, and unlawful publications, with nearly fifteen years of experience examining how communication shapes public perception. After becoming vegan, she began critically analyzing the claims made by the animal industry, such as “animal-friendly meat” and idyllic images of farm life, which suggest that the use of animals can be ethical. This led her to found Stop Humane Washing, an initiative that challenges misleading marketing around animal products and exposes how such narratives conceal the realities of animal agriculture.
