To "demand for" is to forcefully request something to be done. It comes off as rude if you demand something from someone of a higher status than you.
To "ask for" is to (usually) kindly request something to be done. You can rudely ask someone to do something, but it's never forcefully, just rude. You can ask anyone of anything.
To "call for" is to publically ask for or demand for something.
You could call for something professionally (Example,
#1: a boss calling for all of his employees to do something. Example #2: a mayor calling for his town to do something.) or online (Example #1: you can call for your followers to do something for you. Example #2: you can call for your customers to do something for you.)
Please ask if you have any questions 🙏
