The Advocacy department at FOKUPERS constantly works to improve the lives of women in Timor-Leste. 

Advocacy closely monitors government activity. From this, the team consults with community groups and responds to the government with statements, as well as lobbies for change through consultation with parliamentary groups and ministers. 

FOKUPERS has also initiated the Rede-Referral Network, which provides coordinated support to victims of GBV. Currently directly managed by the Ministry of Social Solidarity (MSS), the Referral Network at the municipal level includes members such as the focal points from SEM, the VPU/ PNTL, local, national and international NGOs working together to increase the numbers of GBV victims seeking assistance and further improving the support systems for victims/survivors.

The Advocacy Team also provides a range of training to individuals, groups, partners, and communities. They train in trauma healing, leadership, advocacy, grassroots organising, management, and more.
