Plural of advocacy; instances or instances of supporting, promoting, or arguing for a cause, person, or policy.
From advocacy (from advocate, from Latin 'advocatus' meaning 'called to aid') plus the plural -ies. The word evolved from legal terminology where an advocate literally 'called to' defend someone in court.
The plural 'advocacies' lets us talk about multiple different causes someone fights for—like how a person might have advocacies for both environmental protection and social justice simultaneously, making them a multi-issue activist.
