Perlawanan sipil adalah suatu bentuk aksi politik yang mengandalkan penggunaan perlawanan tanpa kekerasan oleh orang-orang biasa untuk menantang kekuasaan, kekuatan, kebijakan atau rezim tertentu.[1] Perlawanan sipil beroperasi melalui seruan kepada musuh, tekanan dan paksaan: ini dapat melibatkan upaya sistematis untuk merusak atau mengungkap sumber kekuatan musuh (atau pilar pendukung, seperti polisi, militer, pendeta, elit bisnis, dll.). Bentuk aksinya termasuk demonstrasi, berjaga-jaga dan petisi; pemogokan, pelambatan, boikot dan gerakan emigrasi; dan aksi duduk, pendudukan, program konstruktif, dan pembentukan lembaga pemerintahan paralel.
Beberapa motivasi gerakan perlawanan sipil untuk menghindari kekerasan umumnya terkait dengan konteks, termasuk nilai-nilai masyarakat dan pengalaman perang dan kekerasannya, daripada prinsip etis absolut apa pun. Kasus perlawanan sipil dapat ditemukan sepanjang sejarah dan dalam banyak perjuangan modern, melawan penguasa tirani dan pemerintah yang dipilih secara demokratis. Mahatma Gandhi memimpin kampanye perlawanan sipil pertama yang didokumentasikan (menggunakan tiga taktik utama: pembangkangan sipil, pawai, dan pembentukan institusi paralel) untuk membebaskan India dari imperialisme Inggris.[2] Fenomena perlawanan sipil sering dikaitkan dengan pemajuan hak asasi manusia dan demokrasi.[3]
