Name of Resource | 2. Second National Plan for the Eradication of Slave Labour (2008) |
Type | Policy |
Country / jurisdiction | Brazil |
Enacting authority | National Committee for Eradication of Slave Labour, Special Secretariat for Human Rights |
Entry into force / date of approval | 17 April 2008 |
Description | While the First Plan emphasized the institutional coordination essential to those actions taken to combat slave labour up until 2008, the second National Plan focuses on specific actions, first and foremost with regard to the effective eradication of the practice. Economic pressure on employers using slave labour is therefore one of the document’s main objectives. It highlights the need to restrict access to credit for those employers included on the dirty list’, and that this must involve both public financial institutions and private ones. On the subject of economic sanctions, the Second Plan stresses the need to prohibit such employers from participating in the public sector. |
