War resistance movements
War resistance movements are groups or individuals who oppose participating in or supporting war, often due to ethical, moral, or political beliefs. They may refuse to serve in the military, avoid conscription, or protest against armed conflicts. These movements aim to promote peace, challenge government policies, and raise awareness about the human and social costs of war. While some resist through nonviolent actions like demonstrations and advocacy, others may take a more active stance by refusing to carry out military duties. Overall, they advocate for resolving disputes without violence and emphasize the importance of peace.
