Although it is a matter of little discussion and ignorance of a large part of society, contemporary slavery is a concrete fact and it is essential that this issue be made visible.This is because, because of the vulnerability and fragility of a portion of the social body, which is not able to reject and oppose what was imposed on it, society must, through social responsibility, work with the State to fight with the aim of eradicating this act that violates all the fundamental rights and guarantees of the human being.The work aims to discuss contemporary slave labor, focusing on enslavement observed in rural areas in Brazil.In addition, it has the purpose of explaining the reasons for being completely abhorrent conduct from a legal and social point of view.The study will be based on studies and research involving real cases, analysis of current research regarding the number of persons subject to forced labor and of companies and individuals who have committed the crime, as well as the assessment of articles, national legislation and Conventions and International Treaties.Finally, it will also demonstrate the need for a more incisive inspection and more severe punishments by the State.
