[lonestarnot]

BRASILIA — Thousands of people still toil in forced labor in Brazil, despite government attempts to curtail the practice, the International Labour Organization said in a new report.

Since 1995, more than 40,000 people have been rescued from forced labor, citing field reports from the poor, rural areas in the country’s northeast and interviews with 121 people who were released between 2006 to 2007.

The workers were found to be mostly black males who grew up in poverty, began working as children and had little formal education, said the ILO report.
