VOICED: Brazil's rural workers camp out for land

In the Amazonian city of Merhaba, landless farmers have organized a protest camp demanding farm plots and better transport routes. They face challenges due to a lack of infrastructure and credit. In Brazil, a small percentage of the population controls a large portion of arable land, often through speculation. The landless workers, known as the Centerra, have initiated guerilla-style land reforms by establishing squatter camps on large landholdings, pushing for government recognition and redistribution. Their demands include land, housing, education, and healthcare, as they strive for a better future.
