    Civil society is defined as the arena of uncoerced collective action around shared interests, purposes and values. It includes a diversity of organizations like non-profits, community groups, trade unions, and advocacy groups. Civil society emerged in Europe in the 1980s as political opposition and grew globally in the 1990s with the rise of NGOs and social movements. It represents the "third sector" of society, distinct from government and business. Diversity, non-governmental organizations, and democracy are three major elements of civil society.

    DIVERSITY

    the dimensions of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation,
    socio-economic status, age, physical abilities, religious
    beliefs, political beliefs, or other ideologies. It is the
    exploration of these differences in a safe, positive, and

    and moving beyond simple tolerance to embracing and
    celebrating the rich dimensions of diversity contained within
    each individual.
    NON GOVERNMENT
    ORGANIZATION
    A non-governmental organization (NGO) is a legally
    constituted organization created by private organizations
    or people with no participation or representation of any
    government. In the cases in which NGOs are funded
    totally or partially by governments, the NGO maintains its
    non-governmental status in so far as it excludes
    government representatives from membership in the
    organization.
