What is Advocacy?

Advocacy in all its forms seeks to ensure that individuals, particularly those who are most vulnerable in society, are able to:

Have their voice heard on issues that are important to them.

Defend and safeguard their rights.

Have their views and wishes genuinely considered when policies and decisions are being made about their lives and their well-being.

Advocacy is a process of supporting and enabling individuals to:

Express their views, needs, and concerns.

Access information and services.

Defend and promote their rights and responsibilities.

Explore choices, options and alternatives that reflect their best interests and needs.

Advocacy plays an important role in demonstrating in a practical way, a profound respect for the rights of all.
