Movimento dos Trabalhadores Sem Teto (MTST)

The Movimento dos Trabalhadores Sem Teto (MTST), or Homeless Workers' Movement, is a social movement in Brazil advocating for affordable housing and the rights of those lacking proper shelter. It mobilizes workers, primarily low-income and marginalized communities, to press for governmental policies addressing housing inequality. MTST organizes protests, occupations of unused land or buildings, and campaigns to raise awareness about housing shortages, aiming to promote social justice and equitable urban development. Its goal is to ensure everyone has access to safe, stable housing as a fundamental human right.
