Non-cooperation is a deliberate nonviolent strategy aimed to destabilise systems considered unjust by withholding vital economic, political and social support from powerholders. This puts pressure on the latter to address grievances and negotiate solutions.
Non-cooperation can take place at the political, social or economic level through the boycott of elections, the breaking and refusal to follow unjust laws, the ostracism of collaborators or labour withdrawal through strikes. Want to make an impact and contribute to nonviolence yourself? Join SCI's 2025 Peace Activism Camapaign!
