A global advocacy group is an international group that supports a social or political cause. These groups are usually a collection of individuals and sometimes organizations that have pooled their resources to bring recognition of a certain cause on a global scale. Some issues that these groups typically form to help are issues like women’s rights, health care, education, etc. Some Global Advocacy Groups exist solely for the purpose of influencing governmental policy, while other goals are focused on changing general public behavior or to raise public funding to solve a perceived problem. The funds to this organization typically come from the supporters of the group.
