Social movements in Chile

Social movements in Chile are organized efforts by groups of people advocating for change, justice, or reform on issues like education, inequality, human rights, and governance. These movements often emerge in response to social injustices, using protests, demonstrations, and activism to raise awareness and pressure authorities. Key examples include the 2011 student protests demanding education reform and the 2019–2020 protests addressing economic disparity and political issues. These movements reflect Chileans’ desire for social equity, democracy, and improved living conditions, shaping national policies and fostering ongoing societal dialogue.
