 labour market is structurally precarious and featured by high rates of i
 llness and extreme forms of labour exploitation. While there is labour p
 rotection legislation that is reasonably protective\, despite being unde
 r attack in recent decades\, it remains largely disregarded by employers
 . Considering this picture\, the State has taken some actions -some of t
 hem recent- that seek to increase the effectiveness of labour protection
  standards and improve living conditions\, particularly regarding the id
 entification and prevention of occupational illnesses and the creation o
 f life options for victims of contemporary slave labour.\n\nIn his talk\
 , Dr Vitor Filgueiras will present the innovative and multidisciplinary 
 programs aiming at fighting labour exploitation and modern slavery in Br
 azil: Caminhos do Trabalho (‘Paths to Work’) and Vida Pós Resgate (‘Life
  After Rescue’) programs\, coordinated by the Ministry of Labor through 
 a network of Brazilian public institutions. Caminhos do Trabalho builds 
 on a network of public universities to assist workers victims of work-re
 lated illnesses\, providing medical\, legal\, and psychological assistan
 ce. Vida Pós Resgate promotes the training of rural production cooperati
 ves with workers rescued from conditions amounting to modern slavery in 
 their places of origin. This program uses resources from the court fines
  paid by abusive employers.\n\nSPEAKER\n\nDr Vitor Filgueiras is the fou
 nder and Project Coordinator of the Caminhos do Trabalho (‘Paths to Work
 ’) and Vida Pós Resgate (‘Life After Rescue’) programs at Fundacentro (M
 inistry of Labor)\, and Professor of Economics at the Federal University
  of Bahia (UFBA).\n\nHe is an economist and social scientist with a glob
 al academic expertise\, and professional expertise in bridging policy\, 
 practice\, and academia. He held visiting positions at institutions such
  as the Complutense University of Madrid and the University of Californi
 a\, Irvine. He has served as a senior scholar at UFBA\, where he also co
 ordinated the Postgraduate Program in Economics\, and has played a key l
 eadership role in the Brazilian Association for Labor Studies (ABET). He
  was also a Labor Inspector for Brazil’s Ministry of Labor from 2007-201
 7\, which ground his interest in addressing exploitation and poor workin
 g conditions.\n\n---\n\nACCESSIBILITY\n\nIf you have any accessibility-r
