Abstract
The study addresses the persistence of slave-like labor in Brazil, despite strict legislation and monitoring efforts. The research seeks to understand the reasons for the continuation of this practice, analyzing the socioeconomic conditions of the victims, the regions and sectors most impacted, the effectiveness of public policies, and the role of companies in prevention. The phenomenon is directly related to issues such as poverty, low education levels, and lack of opportunities, mainly affecting vulnerable groups in rural and urban areas. Sectors such as agriculture, livestock, construction, and the textile industry are the main employers of this exploited workforce. The analysis highlights the limitations of public policies, often hampered by the lack of resources for monitoring, employer impunity, and the complexity of production chains. It is essential that public policies integrate not only repression, but also prevention and social protection, offering decent employment alternatives and access to essential services such as education and health. The promotion of decent work opportunities and sustainable development are seen as pillars for reducing the vulnerability of workers.
