The concept and focus of advocacy, namely, influencing on decisions of authorities, have been emphasized in religion of Islam and is known as a public duty; To the extent that it is also in the constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran. In addition, over the past 20 to 30 years, advocacy has been developed practically and theoretically in the world.
