Freedom movements are organized efforts by groups of people to gain or protect their rights and freedoms. These movements often arise in response to oppression, discrimination, or colonial rule. They can take various forms, including protests, civil disobedience, and political activism, and aim to achieve social, political, or economic change. Throughout history, many notable freedom movements have emerged, such as the Civil Rights Movement in the United States, which sought to end racial segregation and discrimination. Other examples include the Indian Independence Movement, which aimed to free India from British colonial rule, and the Anti-Apartheid Movement in South Africa, which fought against racial segregation and injustice.
