Advocacy is one such profession in which we, as advocates bear the responsibility of doing justice to people. It is our duty to address social issues and maintain the well-being of individuals and even communities. At its root level, it is the duty of social workers to ensure human well-being and help people attain the basic necessities of life including their fundamental rights. There are multiple marginalized communities out there who are economically, socially weak and fail to emerge from the clutches of the society. They help bring systemic changes to the root causes of social problems which involve the local government to national policymakers in some cases.
