A shaman (healer) ethnic Pataxó next
to Bahia Mother, Holy Mother, (Mother African religion that arrived in
Brazil aboard the slave ships
that brought the African
slaves). The photo was
captured in the political act
in which it sought the approval of PEC 438/01 dealing with the issue of slave labor in
Brazil. After extensive meetings with
the bench that is made
by big businessmen of the
field, it was agreed that the vote
would be held the day after 9.5.2012, except that once again
the bench businessmen field backtracked, saying
that was not well explained what
was meant by slave labor and who did not accept the penalties imposed on those who are caught exploiting slave labor.
One of the punishments is the
total loss of property and assets
that are found in the exploitation of
slave labor. It is estimated that currently exist in
Brazil still masi 80 thousand
workers in conditions similar to
slave labor.--
