Nonviolent Activism

Nonviolent activism is a strategy for social change that aims to achieve goals without using violence. It involves peaceful methods such as protests, marches, sit-ins, and boycotts to raise awareness and apply pressure on authorities. Advocates believe that nonviolent actions can inspire change while maintaining moral high ground and minimizing harm. This approach has been used effectively in various movements, such as the Civil Rights Movement in the United States and India’s independence struggle led by Mahatma Gandhi. Nonviolent activism emphasizes dialogue, solidarity, and resilience, seeking to transform systems and attitudes while fostering understanding and justice.
