Brazil

The research in Brazil focused on the increased risk of modern slavery among migrants due to a lack of official documentation despite the existence of laws intended to facilitate access. In particular, it details obstacles that migrants from Haiti, Bolivia, and Venezuela encounter in securing essential documentation.

The research shows how a lack of access to official implementation undermines access to services and rights and increases vulnerability to modern slavery and proposes actions to reduce the risks of modern slavery.
