Institutional Advocacy

Institutional advocacy involves organizations working to influence public policies, regulations, and decision-making processes to promote their mission or interests. Instead of focusing on individual cases, these groups aim to create systemic change by engaging with lawmakers, government agencies, and other stakeholders. Their efforts can include research, lobbying, public campaigns, and building coalitions to shape laws and policies that benefit the broader community or their specific cause. This approach helps ensure that important issues are recognized and addressed at a higher, structural level.
