Social movements are organized efforts by a group of people to bring about significant change in society, typically aiming to address issues such as social justice, political rights, environmental concerns, or economic inequalities. These movements often arise in response to perceived grievances and injustices, mobilizing collective action through protests, demonstrations, and advocacy to influence public policy, government action, or societal attitudes.
