The Right to Protest (edX)

Law Social Sciences

Learn why protest is protected by human rights, how the freedom to protest is under threat throughout the world, and how you can defend your right to protest. The freedom to call for change, and to amplify that call through mass mobilization, is vital for open and rights-respecting societies. Protests enable people to air grievances, express opinions, petition for remedies for wrongdoing, and to publicly demand accountability. Through protest, those who have been silenced, disempowered or disenfranchised can claim their voice, their strength and their political power.
