Resumo: |
Slavery was officially abolished in Brazil on May 13, 1888. However, in practice it remains and today has elements of the present and the past. As in Brazil, slavery labor in the contemporary world is a reality that affects at least 27 million people, according to Kevin Bales. In our country this phenomenon can be seen in urban and rural life. In this latter, it can be found in all Brazilian states in different agricultural crops and economic sectors, such as livestock, charcoal, culture of soybean, apple, mate, orange, sugar cane etc. According to Pastoral Land Commission (CPT), the alcohol sector in recent years has been the leader in the number of workers freed in Brazil. In São Paulo, the richest state in this federation, has also been reported as a state of over-exploitation and slavery labor. These workers are mostly migrants (miners and Northeast people). They leave their homeland due to lack of minimum conditions of survival and go to São Paulo to "earn a living and send money to their families. There is an "invisible" world in the middle of sugarcane plantations. In these fields, workers have to cut around fifteen tons of cane in a day, under very high temperatures and still suffering from burns when placing cane fires, cuts in upper and lower limbs and poisonous animal bites. Many workers die from overwork called the death tired". Others acquire diseases like cancer and herniated disc. Useless to work, they are discarded by the owners and have to live their lives with their relatives or friends. Many of these workers are still coerced in the "new slave quarters , shacks and slums in the suburbs, which are usually overcrowded and without the minimal conditions of hygiene and safety. In this context of precarious employment and human dignity, these workers have just the support of governmental agencies and civil society. In this latter, we highlight the CPT and the Migrants Pastoral Services (SPM). This research aims to bring to light the actions of these two Catholic Church groups from the sugar cane cutters in the state of Sao Paulo. The work of the CPT and the SPM is extremely important to the sugar cane workers to live their lives with more dignity. These institutions help to coin the term slavery labor and they act with the workers bringing them conscious about their directs and encouraging them to fight for their rights. Also, executes a variety of complaints always relying on national and international legislation |
