In the vibrant and diverse landscape of Brazil, a country marked by stark contrasts of wealth and poverty, the spirit of solidarity among young people stands as a beacon of hope. One of the key movements channeling this energy is the Young Christian Workers (Juventude Operária Católica, or JOC). Since its establishment 100 years ago, the JOC has played an instrumental role in advocating for the rights and welfare of young workers across the globe. In Brazil, the movement has taken on unique dimensions, reflecting the country's particular social and economic challenges.
