Nuit debout is a French social movement that began on 31 March 2016, arising out of protests against proposed labor reforms known as the El Khomri law or Loi travail.[1] The movement was organized around a broad aim of "overthrowing the El Khomri bill and the world it represents".[2] It has been compared to the Occupy movement in the United States and to Spain's anti-austerity 15-M or Indignados movement.[3]

The movement began at the Place de la République in Paris, where protestors held nightly assemblies following the 31 March protest.[4] The protests spread to dozens of other cities and towns in France as well as to neighbouring countries in Europe and to countries further afield.[5] Turnout at these protests dwindled after the first weeks; activists maintained the movement's presence on the Internet.[6][7]
