Layman's description
This project examines the experiences of unfree labour within migrants and internally displaced communities in Brazil`s Amazon. Drawing upon the life stories of displaced workers and ethnographic documentation of their living conditions, this study intends to provide new theoretical frameworks and policy-based recommendations to address the issues of forced displacement and slave labour in Brazil.
This three-year study (2021-2024) will inform policy responses to SDG 16 on peace, justice and strong institutions; SDG 8 on growth and decent work; SDG 10.7 on orderly, safe, regular and responsible migration and mobility of people.
