For a National Model to Prevent Slave Labor? Challenges and conflicts in the nationalization of the Integrated Action Project

Abstract

The article contributes to the studies of policies to combat and prevent slave labor by analyzing the national implementation process of the Integrated Action project that occurred between 2014 and 2018, when it was raised to the condition of a model to prevent the recurrence of workers in situations analogous to slavery. The analysis is based on the observation of the institutional relations of the field to combat slave labor in Brazil through the participation in social situations occurred during the process that revealed the structure and the intrinsic conflicts to the field. As a result, social challenges and political obstacles to combat the problem were revealed, such as the impossibility of replicating a prevention project in a complex and dynamic world of work that produces specific vulnerabilities to slave labor in different regions of the country, alongside conflicts accentuated by the dispute over scarce resources that threaten the joint action of the field.
