Good to see this here --- I agree with María here and note that this tension between seeing advocacy as one tool under HD can sometimes make community members feel as if someone is attempting to control or direct them, rather than work alongside. In communication theory, people have described this more as a two-way symmetrical communication process (though in that field there are some who think this has pushed the remit of 'persuasion' too far away)
