Data from the Digital Observatory of Slave Labor in Brazil, maintained by the ILO and MPT, shows that 1.73% of the 35,341 workers rescued between 2003 and 2017 were repeat victims — 613 people were rescued at least twice in the 15-year period. The project seeks to break this cycle through immediate social protection and preventive identification of suspicious employers. ✓
