Anti-Apartheid refers to the movement aimed at ending the system of racial segregation and discrimination known as Apartheid in South Africa. This system, which was officially implemented in 1948, enforced strict racial divisions and limited the rights of the non-white population. Activists fought against these injustices through protests, strikes, and international advocacy. Key figures in the Anti-Apartheid movement include Nelson Mandela, who became a symbol of resistance after spending 27 years in prison. The movement gained global support, leading to economic sanctions and cultural boycotts against South Africa. Ultimately, the struggle contributed to the dismantling of Apartheid in the early 1990s.
