Descrição: In 1988, a new Constitution was adopted in Brazil in which guidelines for community participation in the development and implementation of the national health system were delineated. The health and welfare of women and children were given priority. Implementation of these guidelines presents a major challenge in a city such as São Paulo with a population of 15 million, of which an estimated 5.8 million are women of childbearing age. In order to determine the extent to which community organizations are actively participating in planning health services for women and children in São Paulo, a study was undertaken to examine the experience of community and professional organizations in public health advocacy. This paper describes a sample of these organizations, their constituents, membership, history, funding, advocacy objectives, and strategies used and results obtained. The information gathered indicates that the community organizations are involved in activities that include major efforts to improve access to health care by providing specialized courses in women's health, including the status of women's work, sexuality, discrimination, family planning, and the politics of health; publishing newsletters; producing radio programs; engaging in legal action; and using petitions, demonstrations, and public meetings to garner public support on specific issues.
