Law/Patents - Law (general) / Domestic Violence / Violencia Intrafamiliar
English term or phrase: Advocacy
Busco la mejor manera de traducir esta palabra que encuentro en un folleto de una agencia de ayuda para víctimas de violencia intrafamiliar. He aqui algunos ejemplos de cómo usan esta palabra:

Our Services:

Advocacy and Counseling Services: We will listen, connect you to available resources, and provide you with a safe space to process what you are going through.

Legal Advocacy: We can assist you with filing for a protection order and preparing for court appearances. We will also provide *advocacy* and support for you at court appearances

No sé cómo traducir esta "advocacy" (y sobretodo para que lo entiendan personas de México). Ya veo que se ha preguntado "advocacy" varias veces, pero no me queda claro si alguna de las respuestas aplica en este contexto.

Muchísimas gracias por vuestra ayuda.

asesoría, consultas, abogar/abogacía


Explanation:
Asesoría, by itself, or asesoría médica, etc., depending on the case. For legal, you could use abogacía, but according to RAE, "se puede abogar por alguien" without it necessarily being legal.
