Advocacy is an art and a skill.
It involves making allies of people who can effect change, and persuading others to take your concerns seriously. Raising awareness about ovarian cancer and advocating for policies and programs that will dramatically improve women s survival from this deadliest of gynecologic cancers requires a clear sense of purpose, tenacity, and organization. There are no hard and fast rules, and the approach that best fits the survivor community in your area will be most successful. There are many common features in bringing people together and getting started. A group of women that are already in touch with each other, either through a gynecologic or other cancer support group, or through a group organized by the Wellness community, provides an excellent base.
