Caritas Singapore’s Advocacy and Research Committee gives voice to the vulnerable by advocating with and on behalf of them to foster a more caring, compassionate and inclusive society. Our advocacy is rooted in the word of God and Catholic Social Teaching. We advocate through research, public education, roundtable discussions, and outreach.

BE AN ADVOCATE

We invite you to join us on this mission to help the vulnerable. Start by practising the three-step “See-Judge-Act” guide drawn from the Catholic Social Teaching. This helps you to critically assess the situation faced by the poor and vulnerable, and take positive and meaningful action (adapted from the Catholic Social Teaching series – Reading the Signs of the Times).
