Protection and Advocacy refers to organizations and efforts aimed at safeguarding the rights of individuals, particularly those with disabilities. These groups work to ensure that people have access to necessary services, support, and legal protections. They often provide information, resources, and assistance to help individuals navigate complex systems.
These organizations may also engage in public policy advocacy, aiming to influence laws and regulations that affect the rights and well-being of vulnerable populations. By raising awareness and promoting social justice, Protection and Advocacy initiatives strive to create a more inclusive society for everyone, including those with disabilities and other marginalized groups.
