Liberation movements are organized efforts by groups of people to achieve freedom from oppression or control by a governing body or foreign power. These movements often arise in response to social, political, or economic injustices, and they seek to empower marginalized communities. Examples include the Civil Rights Movement in the United States and the Anti-Apartheid Movement in South Africa. Typically, liberation movements employ various strategies, including protests, advocacy, and sometimes armed resistance, to achieve their goals. They aim to establish self-determination, equality, and justice for their people. Successful movements can lead to significant changes in laws and policies, promoting human rights and democracy.
