The Landless Workers' Movement

The Landless Workers' Movement (MST) is a social organization in Brazil advocating for land reform and the rights of rural workers. It mainly consists of landless farmers who occupy and work on unused or underused land, aiming to push the government to redistribute land fairly. The MST promotes sustainable agriculture, education, and community development, seeking to address inequality and poverty in rural areas. It operates through peaceful protests, land occupations, and social programs, emphasizing self-sufficiency and social justice for marginalized rural populations.
