What is one primary goal of NGOs?

To impose government regulations
To advocate for social justice and change
To eliminate the need for governments
To protect corporate interests

The correct answer is: To advocate for social justice and change

One primary goal of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) is to advocate for social justice and change. NGOs typically focus on addressing various social issues, such as poverty, human rights, environmental challenges, and equality. They aim to promote awareness, influence public policy, and mobilize communities to foster positive transformations in societies. By working independently of government control, NGOs can effectively rally support and resources to empower marginalized groups, raise awareness about injustices, and push for reforms that lead to improved social conditions. This mission often involves direct action, community organizing, and public advocacy to bring about meaningful change.
