anti-slavery movements

Anti-slavery movements were social and political efforts to end the practice of slavery, where individuals were owned and forced to work without freedom. These movements gained momentum from the 18th to 19th centuries, advocating for human rights, equality, and justice. Activists organized protests, spread awareness, and pushed governments to pass laws banning slavery. Notable figures like Frederick Douglass and William Wilberforce played key roles. Their collective efforts led to the abolition of slavery in many countries, highlighting the importance of human dignity and the rejection of inhumane treatment.
