Apology movements

Apology movements are efforts by institutions, governments, or organizations to recognize past wrongdoings, express remorse, and seek reconciliation with affected communities. These movements aim to acknowledge historical injustices—such as discrimination, colonization, or abuse—and often involve public statements, reparations, or policy changes to promote healing, accountability, and improved relationships. They serve as a formal way to address past harms and demonstrate a commitment to social justice and reconciliation.
