Many of the measures taken are creative and unique, reflecting the need for extraordinary steps to deal with a severe human rights problem that can be difficult to identify, and even more difficult to punish through effective law enforcement in remote areas. Brazil has developed perhaps the most effective media campaign in the world, amply supported by private contributions, to raise mass awareness of the problems caused by forced labour in the country today, and to mobilize public opinion for intensified action against it. The actions taken so far seem to have been the thread that has allowed the tangled web surrounding modern-day slavery to be unravelled. The wider participation of organized sectors of society and the State's commitment to the established principles of human rights are fundamental to its eradication. The example of Brazil both of its achievements and good practices, and of its difficulties and lessons learnt should be disseminated throughout Latin America
