CDM (Civil Disobedience Movement)

The Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM) is a non-violent protest strategy employed to challenge unjust laws or government actions. Originating in various social movements, it encourages individuals to peacefully disobey laws they consider immoral or oppressive. A notable example is India’s struggle for independence from British rule in the 1930s, led by Mahatma Gandhi. The movement seeks to raise awareness, gain public support, and instigate change through collective action, often involving acts like boycotts, strikes, and peaceful demonstrations, emphasizing moral responsibility over legal compliance. CDM plays a crucial role in advocating for social justice and human rights.
