civilians

Civilians are individuals who are not members of the military, police, or other official security forces. They are ordinary people, such as workers, students, or residents, who live and carry out daily activities within a community. Civilians are protected by laws and international agreements during conflicts, meaning they should not be targeted or harmed intentionally. Their safety and well-being are a priority in both peaceful times and during emergencies or conflicts. Essentially, civilians are the general population, not involved in military or armed operations, and are integral to the fabric of society.
