Valdimar do Nascimento is 29 and recently fled the farm where he worked. This man Marabá account that the accumulated debt to his employer cut his salary 56 euros a month for spraying fields from sunrise to sunset. Prolonged contact with the poison and the lack of hygiene caused rashes on her left leg. "When I started to feel much pain, to have severe dizziness, fever and loss of vision, I talked to the boss and tell him what was wrong and he said it was not so bad. I told him to go to public hospitals and asked me to give me or transport. Then I began to understand that I had to go there and report what was happening, "recounts afflicted. Antonio Pereira da Sena also has subsisted in deplorable conditions. At 41 presents the gesture hungry and emaciated after months eating poorly and sleeping under a plastic. In the jungle. Reports that the water he and his family were forced to drink came from a well contaminated by the remains of a dead ox. As in the case of Do Nascimento, the boss does not pay the agreed salary. "I discounted it all: food, work material, footwear. So in the end the pattern left me out, without money or anything," he says. One of the tools to combat slave labor in Brazil is the Mobile Control Group, established in 1995. Since then, the audits of farms and workplaces has been growing. Without warning, the six teams that make up the group landed in places that have been reported or suspected irregularities there. They question the workers, their employers, and try to determine the existence of conditions analogous to slavery. Often these inspections culminating in the settlement of unpaid wages and rescue workers. In 2010 more than 2,600 people were released in Brazil. A small number compared to nearly 6,000 in 2007. Since then, the number of complaints has fallen and rescues. "The map of slave labor is changing. Pará State has always been the most controversial, but now also act fairly in the southern state of Amazonas, in the so-called Boca do Acre," confirms Jose Guilherme de Araujo Moreira, head of the Group Mobile. For Judge Dos Santos Andrade, however, the number of teams from Group Mobile is "insufficient to meet such a challenge." "This shows the smallness of the State in this drama," complaint.

It seems that these threats do not frighten many entrepreneurs, who continue to resort to lies to recruit workers from other regions. "In recent years Brazil has improved somewhat, but efforts are being made are still insufficient," says Sakamoto. Among the major outstanding bills are the lack of progress in the prevention of the phenomenon, the paralysis of land reform and widespread impunity when the perpetrators are identified and prosecuted. "In recent years there have been only 40 convictions and few have been implemented. Makers often have influence and money to pay the best lawyers," abounds. In the State of Pará are met, according to all sources, the conditions for slave labour to flourish. Southeast of that state is, according to the Labour court in Maraba, Jonathan dos Santos Andrade, "a frontier of agricultural expansion and a major mineral provinces of the planet." Besides, he says, there lives a selective absence of the state. "This investment in economic output but not in a proper social structure," he says. Three out of four victims of slave labour are black or mulatto, and mostly illiterate, according to a study investigator Marcelo Paixao. The thousands of workers rescued in recent years tell a very similar experience: they tend to receive a job offer from their homes, usually in other Brazilian states, in order to isolate them from their environment and family friendly. Often they are not informed of the exact location where they will work, but they are moved, crammed in precarious routes vehicles to prevent easy identification of the route. Once at the destination, employees pay for everything: transportation, food, clothing and work material. In the estates, employers have establishments where workers buy what they need at prices sometimes abusive. The employee ends up spending his meagre wage on subsistence items until it begins to borrow from your boss. As debt increases, the individual is more cornered at the mercy of the operator. The houses are often precarious shacks often in the jungle, where workers are exposed to rain, insects and snakes. Often there is no drinking water.

"Apart from security considerations, this relocation is essential to alleviate the pressure on local populations living in food insecure areas and villages such as Sinegodar, which simply cannot meet the needs of so many newly arrived people," she adds.   Prior to departure, IOM staff registered the departing families and ensured that everyone was fit to travel. It also provided water and high energy biscuits. IOM medics were on hand to assist vulnerable people with special needs. Some 28,000 people, including at least 4,500 Niger nationals, have crossed the border into Niger to escape fighting in northern Mali between government forces and fighters from the Mouvement National de Libération de l’Azawad (MNLA.)   IOM is now working with international and local partners to continue the registration of Malians who are scattered across inhospitable desert border areas and to organize their relocation further south. Despite the assistance provided by humanitarian agencies, living conditions in the border area continue to be difficult for Malians and the local population alike. According to Niger’s Early Warning System (SAP), more than six million Nigeriens are in need of food aid. "A combination of drought, insecurity and population inflows from neighbouring Mali and Libya has further aggravated the situation in a region which is already facing severe food shortages and malnutrition. To cope with increased food prices and shortages, families are now having one meal a day. Others have sold whatever they had and migrated to urban areas in search of jobs," says Wane.
