Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra
The Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (MST) is a Brazilian social movement founded in 1984. It advocates for land reform and the rights of landless rural workers. The MST aims to promote social justice by occupying unused land and demanding its redistribution to those in need, thereby addressing issues of poverty and inequality in rural areas.
The movement has organized numerous land occupations and established settlements for families who lack access to land. It also emphasizes education, sustainable agriculture, and community development. The MST has become a significant force in Brazilian politics, influencing discussions on agrarian reform and rural development policies.
