Non-Violent Protest Examples
Non violent protest, also known as non-cooperation protest, is an attempt in achieving one’s goal or goals, such as social change or civil obedience without the act of violence. Too many goals are accomplished with the use of violence and they have been proven to increase the probability of further problems. For example, the Soweto uprising was a protest in which 20,000 people were vigorously fighting for their freedom, as a result 176 of them were killed by South African Police. Mohandas Gandhi was the preeminent leader of the Indian independence movement in British-ruled India.
