The use of slave labour happens in Brazil ever since the beginning of the country’s colonization. The ‘Lei Áurea’, sanctioned in 1888, though it represents a huge milestone in slavery abolition in the country, didn’t finish all forms of slavery and labour exploitation in Brazil. Even though it was not recognized formally for a long time, modern slavery is strongly present in a lot of different countries in the world, including Brazil. That does not mean, though, that modern slavery can be referred to as just a legacy from the old colonial slavery system. In the current capitalist context, a lot of companies refrain themselves from transparency and inspection of where their materials come from and make the existence of modern slavery on their supply chains possible. Adding to that, modern slavery combat in global governance rarely treats this problem as something inherent to the contemporary capitalist economic system, which results in a highly inefficient combat
