HRD & Leader
Santa Lúcia settlement
Rosenildo Pereira de Almeida was a rural worker and land rights defender. He was one of the leaders of the Santa Lúcia settlement, a peaceful occupation to demand land rights and land reform, located at the border of Santa Lúcia farm in Pau D’Arco, Pará, Brazil. The human rights defender had previously received multiple threats as a result of his work. However the number of threats increased following the killing of ten other defenders who were also members of the settlement, in relation to land disputes, on 24 May 2017.
