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

Audrey Desiderato and eHomemakers

Audrey Desiderato is a fellow with AP’s partner organization, eHomemakers of Malaysia.  Audrey received her undergraduate degree from UCLA, where she studied economics and political science with an emphasis on international relations. As a student, she traveled to Tanzania to participate in an HIV/AIDS education program.

Upon graduation, she continued her HIV/AIDS work with the UCLA AIDS Institute, designing and implementing a community peer education program in the Los Angeles area. Prior to joining The Advocacy Project, Audrey helped found GOOD Magazine, a magazine and website dedicated to impacting social change. She saw GOOD grow from an idea and a staff of three (including herself) into the multi-media company that it is today.

Audrey is wholly impressed with eHomemaker’s dedication to find smart, creative solutions that give disadvantaged Malaysian women the opportunity to become economically empowered. Because Audrey’s family resides in Malaysia, she is able to commit six months of her time here, where she looks forward to contributing by assisting with research, writing, communications and developing a sustainable business and marketing plan for its micro-enterprise project, Salaam Wanita.
