Answer 1

Advocacy tries to educate the people in the organization about any specific issue. For these three types of organizations namely, profit, public, and educational organization advocacy the role of advocacy remains the same, wherein the advocacy is used to create awareness around specific issues. However, they differ in terms of different types of advocacy being practiced by these organizations. The profit organizations promote Individual advocacy which helps them to create advocacy around the issues which directly affect them. Public organizations promote self-advocacy where the organizational interest is kept before the individual interest when it comes to building the advocacy. while in Educational organizations they promote system advocacy which creates awareness about the system we have in society and in institutions.
