Over 1.7 thousand human trafficking cases in Brazil from 2000 to 2013
In the most frequent scenario, people are forced to work in slave-like conditions: 1,348 cases of the sort were reported. 
A study published on Thursday (Apr. 24) by the National Council of the Public Prosecution Office (“CNMP”) reports 1,758 counts of human trafficking in Brazil from 2000 to 2013. In the most frequent scenario, people are forced to work in slave-like conditions: 1,348 cases of the sort were reported.
Other cases include handing over a minor to a neglectful guardian (127), inveigling victims into emigrating (100), domestic human trafficking for sexual exploitation (37), and international human trafficking (23).
In a region-by-region analysis, the Southeast showed the largest number of reports, 754, followed by the Central-West, 358, slightly above the South, with 332. The survey also detected a significant rise in instances between 2010 and 2012, when reports connected with human trafficking in Brazil grew from 211 to 416 per year.
Figures were gathered through the analysis of judicial and extrajudicial documents from 23 units of the Public Prosecution Office. “These figures will enable us to draw up strategies for standardizing and leveling the work of the Prosecution Office against human trafficking by means of a common agenda” said to the organization’s website Jarbas Soares, Chairman of CNMP’s Commission for Fundamental Human Rights.
