Gen Z drives political change from Serbia to Brazil

World Nov 06, 2026

Gen Z is making waves around the world, leading youth-driven protests that are challenging powerful governments and demanding real change.

In Serbia, young activists recently ousted the government, while in Brazil, student-led movements were key to Lula da Silva's election win.

Gen Z protests spread globally

This energy isn't just local: Gen Z protests have pushed out the leader in Bangladesh and sparked big movements in India like the Cockroach movement.

Across Europe, young people are rallying for climate action and economic reforms.

Social media tools like TikTok help these movements grow fast.

Even with pushback from authorities, Gen Z keeps pushing for more democracy and a better future.
