This handbook encourages women to join the international arena as advocates of a broad range of policies that promote gender equity. It presents strategies that are generally applicable to all advocacy activities for policy change, with a focus on expanding women’s leadership roles. The guide details advocacy strategies in four sections:

1) planning for advocacy,
2) taking your message to the public,
3) forging alliances, and
4) advocating for resources.
A concluding section illustrates some of these strategies with profiles of Centre for Development and Population Activities (CEDPA) alumnae and partner organizations working for change.

Through this handbook, the Centre for Development and Population Activities (CEDPA) seeks to help women continue their advocacy activities after the Cairo, Copengagen  and Beijing conferences and to encourage even more women to join the ranks of active change agents. The strategies presented here are generally applicable to all advocacy activities for policy change. The focus theoughout is on expanding women's leadership of development.
