What is advocacy and why should protestors avoid violence?

Welcome back — been a while! Let's pick up where you left off. 2.1) Advocacy is the act of publicly supporting or recommending a particular cause or policy. It involves speaking, writing, or acting in favor of a cause, idea, or policy. Protestors in an advocacy campaign should avoid using violence during their protest for the following reasons: • Violence leads to the destruction of public property and infrastructure, diverting funds that could be used for service delivery towards repairs instead. • Violence creates an unsafe environment, can lead to domestic violence, and fuels divisions within the community, affecting innocent people. • Violence undermines peaceful processes like petitions, causing devastation and making it harder to achieve the desired outcomes or engage in constructive dialogue with authorities.
