Advocacy & campaigns
VSO supports disadvantaged communities by bringing their stories and experience to the attention of the public and decision-makers worldwide. We undertake advocacy locally, nationally and internationally to bring about positive change to policies and practices. Together with our supporters, we campaign for global justice and help raise awareness of important development issues.
HIV and AIDS - International Advocacy
We use advocacy to mitigate the impact of HIV and AIDS on women, girls and vulnerable men, and to address the gender inequalities that currently drive the pandemic. Our international HIV and AIDS advocacy campaign is called AIDS Agenda.
