Presentation:

The National Committee to Combating the Exploitation of Child and Adolescent Labor (COORDINFÂNCIA) celebrates 20 years of great struggle, achievements, and challenges since its creation, on November 10, 2000, through Ordinance No. 299, of the Office of the Prosecutor General of Labor. To celebrate these two decades of persistence in defending the fundamental rights of children and adolescents, the Labor Prosecution Service (MPT) prepares and publishes this commemorative work, which also represents the fulfillment of the objective of the National Plan for the Prevention and Eradication of Child Labor and Protection of Adolescent Workers, corresponding to strategic axis No. 07, by which the MPT undertakes the promotion of knowledge about the reality of child labor in Brazil and its legal and labor aspects. The work is published in Portuguese, English, and Spanish so that the discussions transcend national borders.
