What are advocacy to reduce inequities?
Show answer
Advocacy is public action that influences decision-makers and shifts the conditions causing poor health. It can include lobbying government for policy change, running awareness campaigns, supporting community-led movements, and giving affected groups a voice in decisions. Advocacy connects directly to the Ottawa Charter strategy of advocating and to building healthy public policy. Effective advocacy targets the structural cause of an inequity, gives the affected community genuine participation, and aims for lasting change rather than a one-off fix.
