Assignment 9.1: What is your definition of advocacy?

  • Review the 6 definitions above.
  • What are the common elements of these definitions?
  • Which of these definitions appeal most to you? What are the core elements in that definition that appeal to you?
  • What would be your definition of advocacy? Share and discuss this with your colleagues with whom you work (in advocacy).

Although there is no single definition, in order to work together on advocacy, it is important to agree on a working definition, in order to have the same interpretation when we talk about advocacy.
