Anti-draft movements

Anti-draft movements are initiatives created by individuals or groups opposing mandatory military service, known as the draft. These movements arise from various concerns, such as moral objections to military participation, fear of danger, political beliefs, or opposition to government policies. Participants often organize protests, petitions, or advocacy campaigns to influence public opinion and policymakers, aiming to abolish or reform conscription. Throughout history, anti-draft movements have played a significant role in shaping military and political debates, highlighting the tension between national defense needs and individual rights or ethical considerations.
