Global civil rights movements

Global civil rights movements are organized efforts across countries advocating for equality, justice, and the end of discrimination based on race, ethnicity, gender, or social status. They aim to challenge unjust laws, social norms, and practices that deny individuals fair treatment. These movements often involve protests, advocacy, and legal changes to promote human rights and social justice worldwide. Examples include the fight against apartheid in South Africa, women’s rights campaigns, and movements for LGBTQ+ equality. Overall, they seek to create more inclusive societies where all individuals have equal opportunities and dignity.
