Pro-democracy movements are organized efforts by groups of people advocating for democratic governance and the protection of civil rights. These movements often arise in countries where authoritarian regimes limit political freedoms, suppress dissent, or violate human rights. Activists seek to promote fair elections, freedom of speech, and the rule of law, aiming to empower citizens in the political process. Historically, pro-democracy movements have played significant roles in various regions, such as the Arab Spring in the Middle East and Solidarity in Poland. These movements can take many forms, including protests, advocacy campaigns, and grassroots organizing, often drawing international attention and support.
