Movimento Sem Terra (MST)

Movimento Sem Terra (MST), or the Landless Workers' Movement, is a social movement in Brazil that advocates for agrarian reform and land rights. Founded in the 1980s, MST focuses on helping landless rural families gain access to land for farming. The movement organizes protests, occupations of unused land, and cooperatives to pressure the government for policy changes. MST aims to address issues of poverty, inequality, and food sovereignty, promoting sustainable farming practices and social justice. It has become one of the largest social movements in Brazil, reflecting broader struggles for land and rights among marginalized communities.
