Produktbeschreibung

Society is a highly complex organism comprised of many interrelated parts, all of which function in important ways for the maintenance of the whole. The function of each part can be assessed in terms of its overall contribution to the survival of society" (Appelbaum, 1970). Advocacy that focuses on attracting people's attention towards specific issue or initiating a debate in the society. The purpose is to form pressure groups that can push decision makers to design a policy, change an existing one, or effectively implement a policy. This study aims at reviewing the use of advocacy in social change. The study reviews the content and the performance of governmental and non-governmental organizations in dealing with social issues using advocacy. The created public opinion could be able to pressure policy makers to do a reform in policies that contribute to ending the undesired social phenomena. Based on the review, the study is presenting recommendations for using advocacy to fightsexual harassment phenomenon assuming that there are deficiencies in the media tools which make the advocacy unsustainable leading to the continuation of the phenomenon.
