The April 6 Youth Movement is a grassroots social movement in Egypt that emerged in 2008. It was initially formed to support workers' rights and protest against the government's oppressive policies. The movement gained significant attention for its use of social media to mobilize young people and organize protests, particularly during the Egyptian Revolution in 2011. The movement's name comes from a protest that took place on April 6, 2008, in the city of Mahalla. It played a crucial role in advocating for democratic reforms and social justice, inspiring many young Egyptians to engage in political activism and demand change in their country.
