women's advocacy

Fighting for her

Women's advocacy is organized effort to advance the rights, opportunities, and welfare of women.

It encompasses political activism, legal reform, healthcare access, workplace equality, and protection from violence or discrimination.

The term is broader and more neutral than feminism, often used by organizations that work on specific issues: She works in women's advocacy at a nonprofit focused on maternal health.
