Campaign for Uyghurs describes its advocacy efforts in the framework of "[mobilizing] individuals and the international community and build bridges to take action on behalf of and to raise public awareness of the Uyghur issue with a special focus on Uyghur women and youth and to activate persons and entities to work together to stop the systematic human rights abuses against the people of East Turkestan.[1]
The organization has testified in the US Congress, provided policy recommendations, and hosted speaking events, such as panels of witnesses and experts, to highlight and raise awareness of what the organization describes as genocidal policies that the Uyghurs are facing.
