Mary advocates any policy that helps reduce domestic violence.

It is now.

I I found some sentences used “for” for “advocate”. I don’t know when I should add “for”.
For example:

1. Those who advocate for doctor-assisted suicide say the terminally ill should not have to suffer.
Is “for” optional in the above sentences?

2. Extremists were openly advocating violence.
Can I say “advocating for violence”?

I think you can omit "for" if you want to.
