It's not about advocating, it's about hearing the voice. Based on the different experiences that people of different races and genders have due to the way our society is structured, they are likely to have different opinions or viewpoints than the majority.
Providing opportunity for those voices to be heard is the goal, not 'advocating' for solutions to specific 'issues.'
