Developing Advocacy activities entails carrying out a series of highly specialized actions. Associations must analyze political processes, State structure, current legislation at the various government levels, international commitments, and the social, economic, geopolitical, and human development context. With this information, they can suggest timely changes to legislation, public policy, and government programs to the appropriate agencies (Parliament, the Courts, Departments, Ministries, and others).

We must engage in Advocacy work because each nation must have the legal and institutional mechanisms to protect and promote the rights of their citizens, and thus foster the welfare of people and communities. We must also engage in Advocacy work because our efforts to inform, raise awareness, and articulate our work with decision makers, State and government actions addressing a specific issue will correspond to the reality that determines them.
