vulnerable population
Give a voice to a vulnerable population. Write a paper of 2500-3000 words and minimum 5 references (max 2 of the references can be websites). Develop an advocacy statement, just as if you would testify at the United Nations – include a brief description of the population and its vulnerability and advocate for the rights of your selected population to: education, health, prevention, treatment, health care…. children, girls, mothers, elderly, etc. Your statement needs to be convincing, based on research and facts, and with a global component, suggesting a potential solution.
