A Voice For the Voiceless

MISSION

The Advocacy Project seeks to help community-based advocates produce, disseminate and use information, and so become more effective advocates for human rights and social justice

The Advocacy Forum

The Advocacy Project receives many requests for partnership from all over the world. In 2008 alone, we received 168 inquiries from 46 countries. We are delighted to attract the attention of so many brave advocates. But our ability to service new partners is very limited. In addition, it takes time to develop new partnerships and ascertain that our model of support is appropriate.

At the request of many, we are establishing an online directory that will provide community-based human rights advocates with a presence on the Internet but that falls short of full partnership. The Advocacy Forum contains a mission statement and provides contact information that will, we hope, attract attention from donors. We hope to draw future partners from the Forum. All Forum members meet our criteria for partnership but have not been vetted.

We welcome applications for the Forum and for full partnership. Please consult our criteria for partnership and information about submitting a partnership application. The Forum is organized by country or territory, and by issue.
