Democracy movements
Democracy movements are collective efforts by citizens to advocate for democratic governance, emphasizing principles like political freedom, equal rights, and fair elections. These movements often arise in response to authoritarian regimes, corruption, or oppression, aiming to promote transparency, accountability, and individual liberties. Examples include the pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong, the Arab Spring across the Middle East, and the civil rights movements worldwide. Activists engage in demonstrations, advocacy, and sometimes civil disobedience to demand change, ultimately seeking to establish or strengthen democratic institutions and practices in their countries.
