The Hunger Strike

A hunger strike is a form of protest where individuals refuse to eat to draw attention to their cause or demand change. It’s a non-violent way to raise awareness or pressure authorities by showing dedication and sacrifice. Participants believe that their suffering will highlight injustices or prompt action. Hunger strikes can last for varying periods, and while they can be effective in gaining attention, they also pose serious health risks. The method relies on moral appeal and public support to influence decision-makers without resorting to violence.
