A Voice For the Voiceless

The Advocacy Project helps marginalized communities to tell their story, claim their rights and produce social change.

We are currently recruiting graduate students to volunteer as Peace Fellows with partners.

The Impact of Service

"I look at myself as having the potential to be as strong and caring as the amazing women I met in Kenya."

Kate Cummings (Tufts University) volunteered in 2009 as a Peace Fellow for Vital Voices in Africa.

Putis Exhumation Film

If I Don't Come Back...Look for Me in Putis

The largest of Peru’s mass graves, Putis marks one of the most brutal incidents in the country’s 20-year internal conflict. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission found that in December 1984, 123 men, women and children from the communities of Cayramayo, Vizcatampata, Orccohuasi and Putis were executed by units of the Peruvian Army and buried at Putis.

The documentary was produced by The Advocacy Project (AP) and follows the Peruvian Forensic Anthropology Team (EPAF) in their efforts at exhuming the graves at Putis this past May. AP Executive Director Iain Guest and AP Peace Fellow Ash Kosiewicz, a graduate student at Georgetown University, accompanied the team and provided footage for the documentary.
