Abstract
Child health professionals play a crucial role in advocating for children and it is incumbent on all who work with them to observe and enforce the maintenance of children's rights. In this article we summarise what advocacy is, its importance for child health and briefly how to go about it. Finally, we provide three differing examples of how advocacy has been used to improve the health of children.
