Landless people in Brazil

Photo: Sean Sprague

This is the type of place where the landless people in Brazil have to live. They have to try and set up camp on land that is not being used or that no one else wants. Often they move onto or occupy a small bit of land belonging to a wealthy landowner. This can be dangerous because the landowners often use violence to try and get rid of them. The landless families just want a small plot of land to grow food and build a home.
