The Regional Initiative Latin America and the Caribbean free of child labor invites you to connect this Wednesday, May 23 at 9:00 am (GMT-5) to the second session of "Expert Voices" from the fanpage of the Latin American Network against Child labor On this occasion, Thiago Gurjão Alves Ribeiro, international advisor to the Brazilian Labor Attorney General's Office, will speak about “Forced labor and modern forms of slavery” from the experience in Brazil.
Forced labor and child labor have connection points. An ILO survey in Brazil of people who are victims of forced labor (2011), reported that 90% of those interviewed had some history of child labor and had started their working life before the age of 16.
According to the Brazilian experience in the fight against slave labor and forced labor, many children and adolescents have been rescued and it has been identified that adult workers who face modern forms of slavery were also victims of child labor.
Creating and implementing better responses to prevent child labor and forced labor with better offers of education, vocational training, protected adolescent work and protection programs for children and relatives of workers rescued from forced labor and slave labor are relevant to achieve the Goal 8.7 in its entirety.
Therefore, understanding more about the approach to forced labor and modern forms of slavery will bring us as a country and region closer to achieving Goal 8.7 on ending child labor, as this goal also commits us to achieving the eradication of forced labor. , modern slavery and human trafficking.
