Serviço de Pastoral da Terra

Serviço de Pastoral da Terra (CPT) is a Brazilian organization dedicated to defending the rights of rural workers, particularly landless farmers and indigenous communities. Founded in 1975, it provides legal assistance, advocacy, and support for social movements aiming for land reform and equitable access to land. CPT emphasizes social justice, sustainable agriculture, and human rights, often confronting issues like land conflicts and violence against rural populations. The organization works closely with local communities to empower them, fostering solidarity and activism for a more equitable distribution of land and resources in Brazil's rural areas.
