squatters' movements

Squatters' movements refer to the actions and advocacy of individuals or groups who occupy vacant or abandoned properties without legal permission. These movements often arise from housing shortages, social inequality, and a lack of affordable housing. Advocates argue that squatting can draw attention to these issues, create community spaces, and provide shelter for those in need. Some movements also push for legal recognition of squatting rights or demand policy changes to improve housing access. While controversial, these movements highlight the struggles faced by marginalized communities in securing safe and stable living conditions.
