Advocacy Plan for Preventing Eye Conditions among the Aboriginal People

Instructions

‘What are some of the key elements of advocacy and community development when working with Aboriginal community/peoples?’

Answer preview

Almost after 250 years of colonization, the Aboriginal People are still burdened by a complex web of issues. The widespread socioeconomic disadvantage and health inequalities have exposed the challenges experienced by the Aboriginal People. Health issues, especially eye conditions, continue to hamper the progress of the community. Despite concerted efforts from the government and other not-for-profit organizations on addressing the issue, Aboriginal People lack access to culturally-appropriate eye care services. In this case, there is a need to advocate for preventing the eye condition through specific measures. One of the key objectives of this advocacy plan is to create public awareness about eye conditions among the Indigenous People.
