Peace Camps
Human rights violations can often be committed during times of war. It, therefore, makes sense that activists would specifically protest against armed conflict. One way to do this is by setting up a peace camp. They tend to be created within areas associated with the military. Alternatively, the base could be close to government buildings.
Over the years, there have been several high profile peace camps. For example, Sky News covered a man who set up a tent outside of the Houses of Parliament in order to bring attention to the Iraq War. Peace camps have existed since the 1920s. They came to prominence in the early 80s. The Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp stands out as a famous example.
They are particularly popular within the United Kingdom. People who are against the proliferation of nuclear weapons will often set up camps near missile and submarine bases. Creating a peace camp is a serious commitment. The person will need to live there for extended periods of time. This can mean giving up their job and family life. However, it is also an excellent method for visually signifying displeasure at the government.
