Oppression and Resistance

Oppression occurs when a dominant group uses power to unfairly restrict or control others, often leading to social inequality and injustice. Resistance is the response of those facing oppression, involving actions or movements to challenge, oppose, or change unfair systems and practices. Together, these concepts highlight the dynamic between those exerting control and others seeking justice, equity, and recognition. Understanding oppression and resistance helps clarify societal struggles for fairness and the ongoing efforts to achieve social change.
