Social movements play a critical role in addressing systemic inequality by mobilizing individuals around shared grievances and demanding change. These movements raise awareness of disparities across various dimensions, including race, gender, and economic class. By advocating for policy reforms, social movements can influence public opinion and compel governments to take action. They foster collective action, engaging citizens in the political process and challenging existing power structures. Ultimately, social movements aim to create a more just and equitable society, pushing for reforms that address the root causes of inequality and promote social justice.
