Landless Workers Movement
The Landless Workers Movement (MST) is a social movement in Brazil that advocates for land reform and the rights of landless rural workers. Founded in 1984, the MST seeks to address issues of land inequality and promote agrarian reform by organizing landless families to occupy unused land and demand access to it. The movement emphasizes collective farming and sustainable agricultural practices.
MST has played a significant role in Brazilian politics, influencing land policies and raising awareness about rural poverty. It collaborates with various organizations, including labor unions and environmental groups, to promote social justice and improve living conditions for marginalized communities in rural areas.
