This series of modules is designed to ensure staff members have some of the necessary skills to use the Media & Advocacy strategy. Media & Advocacy are important tools in influencing public priorities, by making violence against women and its connection to HIV/AIDS a popular media topic and a catalyst for new policies and practices. Learn to engage local leaders, policymakers and journalists to effect wider change in your community.

Note: Many modules are included for download in PDF. Some modules are in the process of being field tested by Raising Voices, and are not yet available for download. However, the draft modules are available for use—and we welcome feedback! Simply email info@raisingvoices.org to request modules.
