Generally, societies face the arduous task of rebuilding and transitioning towards sustainable peace in the aftermath of armed conflicts. A critical aspect of this process is demilitarization, which involves the reduction and removal of military forces and weapons from civilian life. Demilitarization is however a complex and multifaceted process that requires more than just the disarmament of combatants. The role of social movements has emerged as a significant factor in influencing the process of demilitarization during post-conflict reconstruction. In this term paper therefore, I aim to explore the relationship between social movements and demilitarization, examining their impact, challenges, and potential for positive change.
