What is Advocacy?
At any time, thousands of individuals, NGOs and non profit organisations participate in and influence decision-making at all levels of government. A core component of our
democratic society is the right to advocate for change on behalf of someone or an issue that promotes a
just society - a fair society for all people.
Ethical gifts as consumer advocacy
New Internationalist offers a range of
ethical gifts that deliver sustainable livelihoods to small producers in the poorest countries of the world. An ethical gift not only supports human dignity in the Majority World, it also makes a statement for
consumer advocacy in our own society.
Advocacy groups
Each edition of the
NI magazine provides an in-depth analysis of issues of world poverty and inequality and offers an alternative viewpoint to mainstream media. It provides links to advocacy groups. It supports lobbying initiatives for social and environmental justice. It provides the information needed for effective campaigns for corporate social responsibility.
