Liberation Theology is a Christian-based movement that emerged in Latin America during the 1960s and 70s. It emphasizes the importance of social justice, equality, and human rights as central tenets of faith. Liberation theologians believe that God's love for all people includes a call to action - working towards creating a more just society by addressing issues such as poverty, oppression, and inequality. The movement is rooted in the belief that religion should be used as a tool for social change, with an emphasis on empowering marginalized communities through education, political activism, and community organizing.
