Landless Workers' Movement (Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra - MST)
The Landless Workers' Movement (MST) is a social movement in Brazil advocating for land reform and the rights of rural workers. Founded in 1984, it aims to address inequality by occupying unused or underused land, then transforming it into productive farms. MST promotes sustainable agriculture, education, and social justice, seeking to empower marginalized populations and influence land policies. It is known for its non-violent activism, including organizing land occupations, community projects, and advocating for government reforms to ensure fair land distribution.
