land occupation movements

Land occupation movements are grassroots campaigns where individuals or communities assert their right to use and inhabit land, often in response to issues like inequality, poverty, or urban development. Participants may occupy vacant or underutilized land to create housing, community gardens, or public spaces. These movements aim to challenge property laws, advocate for social justice, and promote sustainable land use. They often call attention to the needs of marginalized groups and push for government reforms to improve access to land and housing for everyone, emphasizing the importance of land as a fundamental resource for livelihood and community well-being.
