People Advocacy
People advocacy involves individuals or organizations who actively support and promote the rights, well-being, and interests of people, particularly those who are marginalized, vulnerable, or in need of assistance. Advocates work to raise awareness, provide resources, and push for policy changes to address social issues and improve the lives of individuals within society. They strive to empower people to have a voice, access to opportunities, and the ability to thrive in their communities.
