The document discusses advocacy and lobbying to promote the rights of marginalized communities. It defines advocacy as influencing people in a way that makes them believe something is in their best interest without obvious rewards. Advocacy involves translating people's voices to those in power. The oppressed, elected representatives, experts, and concerned citizens can advocate. Advocacy should focus on the economically poor, Dalits, Adivasis, women, sexual minorities, children. It should target centers of power, state institutions, public opinion, and the excluded communities themselves. Networking and empowering affected people are most effective routes for ensuring pro-poor change.
