Anti-discriminations Students Movement (Bengali: বৈষম্যবিরোধী ছাত্র আন্দোলন, romanized: Bôiṣômyôbirōdhī Chātrô Āndōlôn) is a politically non-affiliated group of student activists in Bangladesh formed in 2024 during the nationwide student-led quota reform movement. The group has been credited for the ousting of the country's former prime minister Sheikh Hasina on 5 August 2024 through the Student–People's uprising.[7]

On October 22, 2024, the Anti-Discrimination Students Movement and the Jatiya Nagorik Committee jointly announced a five-point demand, advocating for sweeping political and constitutional changes to dismantle what they describe as a "fascist political settlement" and replace it with a democratic one.[a]
