Abstract:
The Life After Rescue Project (PVPR) envisions the design of a new public policy to combat contemporary slave labor in Brazil by building productive reinsertion on an agroecological basis with autonomous and collective work. The Agroecological Association of Aracatu-BA (AAGROAB) was created by workers from the municipality of Aracatu-BA who were rescued from slave-like work on a coffee farm in São Paulo to be a pilot of the PVPR. Two years after its creation, we sought, through the Participatory Rapid Diagnosis (DRP) methodology, to trace the trajectory of AAGROAB with the aim of analyzing and contributing to the monitoring of PVPR actions. It was concluded that the interaction of the various public policies psychosocial, access to land, ATER, among others - at different levels is essential for the effectiveness of the proposal that these workers who live in extreme vulnerability can achieve their autonomy with dignity.
