Civil Resistance

Civil resistance refers to the nonviolent strategies used by individuals or groups to challenge and bring about change in policies, systems, or governments perceived as unjust. This approach often includes protests, strikes, boycotts, and civil disobedience, relying on the power of collective action rather than armed conflict. The goal is to create social or political change by mobilizing public opinion and drawing attention to the cause, demonstrating that the current system lacks legitimacy or support. Historical examples include the Civil Rights Movement in the U.S. and India’s struggle for independence from British rule.
