Landless Workers' Movement (Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra)

The Landless Workers' Movement (Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra, MST) is a social movement in Brazil advocating for land reform and the rights of rural workers. It organizes landless families to occupy and develop unused land, aiming to redistribute land more equitably and improve living conditions. MST seeks to promote social justice, land sustainability, and rural development through activism, education, and protests, often challenging large landowners and government policies. It is one of Latin America's largest grassroots movements focused on empowering marginalized rural communities and addressing land inequality.
