Terra de Direitos believes in people’s sovereignty and supports the collective struggles of social movements, peoples and communities for the recognition and guarantee of rights.
It understands that democracy and social justice are fundamental for building a free, fair and fraternal society, especially in Brazil – a land of many peoples, cultures and identities.
It is convinced that it is only through the interdependence and intersectionality of human rights that progress can be made both in recognizing rights and redistributing access to them.
It believes that democratization of access to land, whether urban or rural, is paramount for ensuring the dignified reproduction of life, given that land is the source of our subsistence, our shelter and based on which we form our individual and collective identities.
It fights for the building of territories free from exploitation and which have collective social practices both in rural areas and in cities, based on the principles and tools of public interest legal aids.
It works for full access to justice, demanding a legal system that reflects the diversity and plurality of Brazilian society.
