THE CONCEPT OF ADVOCACY (SO 6, AC 4)
Community awareness about the rights of HIV- positive people can be done via advocacy campaigns. Advocacy covers a wide spectrum of techniques and methods used to modify those policies and practices, attitudes and behaviours that work as huddles to development.  It focuses on the factors that promote poor health care and seeks to rectify this.  At maximum level, the process of advocacy should is best carried out when those people who are affected by the problems identified are involved.
The Advocacy resource exchange defines an advocate is a means to redressing the balance of power by providing a mixture of:

  • Support
  • Signposting
  • links to other services
  • sharing information and knowledge to support decision making
  • Being a ‘voice’ to ensure that people’s rights are respected.

Advocacy offers an effective means to:

  • express choice
  • develop the confidence to express satisfaction or dissatisfaction
  • receive information
  • minimise risk
  • offer control to avoid exclusion
  • provide strength to attain empowerment

 

 REMEMBER

Advocacy is not a novel phenomenon; it is part of our activities. People advocate (or speak up) for themselves and each other (children, relatives, friends) on a daily basis. Apprehensive individuals advocate for people whose rights are mostly vulnerable and whose contribution as citizens is not appreciated. There is a spectrum or continuum of advocacy, which ranges from legal advocacy through to the informal support and/or encouragement of a friend.
