Nonviolence

Nonviolence is a philosophy and strategy for social change that rejects the use of physical force. It promotes peaceful means of protest, dialogue, and resistance to injustice. Influenced by figures like Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr., nonviolence seeks to achieve goals through methods such as civil disobedience, strikes, and peaceful demonstrations. The core principle is to uphold human dignity and foster understanding, even in conflict. Nonviolence asserts that enduring change can be achieved through compassion and solidarity, rather than through aggression, ultimately aiming for a more just and equitable society.
