Reform movements are organized efforts to change laws or improve society. These movements have taken place in many countries and time periods. They often involve groups working together.

Examples include movements for civil rights, women’s voting rights, and improved working conditions. People organized marches, campaigns, and petitions to bring attention to issues. Governments sometimes responded by creating new laws or policies.

Reform movements are recorded in documents, speeches, and laws. They are studied in history to understand social change.
