Civil societies

Civil society refers to the network of organizations, groups, and individuals that operate independently from the government and private businesses to promote community interests, social values, and public engagement. It includes NGOs, advocacy groups, professional associations, religious organizations, and grassroots movements. Civil society plays a vital role in fostering democratic participation, holding authorities accountable, and addressing social issues. It acts as a bridge between citizens and the state, advocating for rights, social justice, and community well-being, thereby strengthening the fabric of a healthy, participatory society.
