Consciousness raising
Consciousness raising (also called awareness raising) is a form of activism, popularized by United States feminists in the late 1960s. It often takes the form of a group of people attempting to focus the attention of a wider group of people on some cause or condition. Common issues include diseases (e.g. breast cancer, AIDS), conflicts (e.g. the Darfur genocide, global warming), movements (e.g. Greenpeace, PETA, Earth Hour), and political parties or politicians. Since informing the populace of a public concern is often regarded as the first step to changing how the institutions handle it, raising awareness is often the first activity in which any advocacy group engages.
However, in practice, raising awareness is often combined with other activities, such as fundraising, membership drives, or advocacy, in order to harness and/or sustain the motivation of new supporters, which may be at its highest just after they have learned and digested the new information.
The term ''awareness raising'' is used in the Yogyakarta Principles against discriminatory attitudes〔The Yogyakarta Principles, Article 2, 9, 15〕 and LGBT stereotypes, as well as the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities to combat stereotypes, prejudices, and harmful practices toward people with disabilities.〔Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, Article 8 "Awareness raising"〕
==Etymology==
Until the early 17th century, consciousness was used in the sense of moral knowledge of right or wrong, which today is referred to as conscience.〔Koch, C. (2004). Introduction to the Study of Consciousness. In The quest for consciousness: A neurobiological approach (p. 1). Denver, CO: Roberts and.〕
