Advocacy is the act of speaking or writing in support of something.
For GLHF, advocacy involves speaking or writing on behalf of persons with hemophilia and bleeding disorders.  The purpose of GLHF advocacy is to influence policy, procedure, law or administrative rule so that GLHF clients will benefit and be protected; or, in the case of harm, have the harm undone.
