Article 3 of the Convention. Worst forms of child labour. Clause (a). Sale and trafficking of children. The Committee previously noted the adoption of the Law No. 13.344 of 2016, which amended the Penal Code to criminalize trafficking of children (section 149-A) and requested the Government to provide information on its application in practice. It also requested the Government to inform on the actions implemented under the Third National Action Plan to Combat Trafficking in Persons. The Committee notes that, in 2019, an Inter-ministerial Monitoring and Evaluation Group was created to monitor and evaluate the implementation of the Third National Action Plan (Decree No. 9796 of 20 May 2019). However, it notes the absence of information on specific measures taken within the framework of the Action Plan to combat trafficking of children for the purpose of sexual or labour exploitation, as well as on the number of investigations, prosecutions, and convictions under section 149-A of the Penal Code. Therefore, the Committee once again requests the Government to provide information on: (i) measures taken with the aim of combatting trafficking of children for labour and sexual exploitation, including within the framework of the Third National Action Plan to Combat Trafficking in Persons; and (ii) the number of investigations, prosecutions, and convictions and penalties imposed on the basis of section 149-A of the Penal Code regarding trafficking of children.
Article 7(2). Effective and time-bound measures. Clause (c). Ensure access to free basic education, and whenever possible, vocational training for children removed from the worst forms of child labour. The Committee notes with interest that the Government has developed a methodology for inserting former child workers in vocational training programmes, and that it is being implemented in the states of Maranhão, and Espíritu Santo targeting children who were involved in street trading and garbage collection. The Committee notes that in the context of these interventions, 108 of 112 adolescents found to be working as street vendors have been enrolled in vocational training programmes. The Committee encourages the Government to continue taking measures in this regard and requests it to continue providing information on the results achieved.
Clause (d). Children at special risk. Orphans and other vulnerable children due to HIV/AIDS. The Committee previously requested the Government to provide information on the measures taken to protect HIV/AIDS orphans and on the results achieved. The Committee notes that according to information of UNAIDS, the number of people infected with HIV increased by 21 per cent from 2010 to 2018. Noting the absence of information on this point, the Committee once again requests the Government to provide information on the measures taken to ensure that children orphaned by HIV/AIDS are prevented from being engaged in the worst forms of child labour.
