Summary:

The Ministry of Human Rights and Citizenship (MDHC) and the National Commission for the Eradication of Forced Labor (Conatrae) launched a campaign to combat forced labor on January 24. The campaign aims to raise awareness among professionals in the Social Assistance System (Suas) about the importance of eradicating forced labor and inform them about the possibilities of acting against it. According to the MDHC, 3,400 cases of forced labor were reported in Brazil in 2023, a 61% increase from 2022. The campaign will run on social media and features a documentary titled "Servidu00e3o"" that explores the theme of forced labor and its impact on workers. The goal is to engage the general public in the fight against forced labor and protect human rights.
