Why do you think people protest

Introduction: Why do you think people protest? Well they do it to get their rights for them, their families, their race, the colour of their skin, or their culture. People protest about many things and this report will give you more information as to why protests have been going on for over 150 years.


What is a protest?

A protest is an objection or complaint. Often, protests are when people try to get others attention by marching through streets, holding signs with very deep messages on them, and also chanting words. This type of protest is called a march, but people also meet, rally, strike or sign a petition. Protests are normally peaceful and usually get people's attention. But some can lead to disaster.


What causes a protest: A protest can be caused by a lot of things like people not agreeing with others, people not being treated fairly, women/men's rights, and stuff like that. Usually they protest when they want to change something. Like the story of Kate Sheppered. She set up a petition for all women to sign for the government to see how many women wanted to change. And in the end she actually got justice for her and all the other women in New Zealand. It was actually a world's first.



In conclusion people protest to get their rights, get their voices heard, and to make a change.
