liberation efforts
Struggles for freedom
Liberation efforts are organized actions aimed at freeing people from oppression, occupation, or unjust control.
The phrase appears in contexts ranging from military campaigns to social movements: liberation efforts during World War II, liberation efforts for political prisoners, the liberation efforts of the civil rights movement.
The term implies moral legitimacy—those using it generally view the cause as just.
