A boycott is an act of nonviolent, voluntary abstention from a product, person, organization, or country as an expression of protest. People engage in boycotts for various reasons, including moral, social, political, or environmental concerns. The primary purpose of a boycott is to inflict economic loss on the target or to express moral outrage, often with the aim of compelling the target to change an objectionable behavior1.

The term “boycott” originated during the Irish “Land War” in the late 19th century. It was named after Captain Charles Boycott, an agent of an absentee landlord in Ireland. The Irish Land League organized social ostracism against Boycott when he attempted to evict tenants from their land. As a result, local workers stopped working for him, businesses ceased trading with him, and even the postman refused to deliver his mail. The word “boycott” quickly gained prominence and has since been used globally to describe organized isolation as a form of protest1.

In summary, a boycott serves as a powerful tool to express dissent, influence change, and hold individuals, companies, or nations accountable for objectionable actions or policies.
