Pro-democracy protests are public demonstrations where individuals advocate for democratic reforms and greater political freedoms. These protests often arise in response to perceived government oppression, lack of political representation, or violations of human rights. Participants typically call for fair elections, freedom of speech, and the rule of law. Such movements can be seen in various countries around the world, often inspired by historical events like the Arab Spring or the Hong Kong protests. These demonstrations aim to mobilize citizens and raise awareness about the importance of democracy and civic engagement in shaping their governments.
