ADVOCACY AND CAMPAIGNS

Dis-Moi’s primary tool is advocacy and campaigning. Advocacy campaigns are the driving force of the progress of Dis-Moi. The organization makes it a duty to call attention and take appropriate stands whenever there are issues pertaining to human rights violations. Advocacy is usually done by way of communiques, press articles or even conferences on media and social media platforms. Our objectives are to identify solutions, coordinate efforts of the masses, and work to bring changes that would make our region a better place.
