Sitin

Sitin is a term that may refer to more than one concept, depending on context. In common usage, sitin is a variant spelling of sit-in, a form of peaceful protest in which participants occupy a space such as a public building, business, or other venue to demand action or to draw attention to a grievance. Sit-ins rely on nonviolent presence and disruption of normal operations to influence policy, management, or public opinion. They have been employed worldwide and across various historical periods, with notable examples arising during the civil rights movement in the United States, including lunch counter sit-ins beginning in 1960. Organizers typically coordinate with participants, establish clear aims, ensure safety, and anticipate legal considerations. Responses from authorities and establishments vary by jurisdiction and the conduct of participants.

Beyond its protest sense, sitin can also function as a transliteration or variant form in different languages,
