Family Enslaved A 7-Year-Old For 55 Years In Brazil
Rescued July 2 near Fortaleza, she is 62 now; the signed agreement only compensates the years since 2014.
- MPT-CE's agreement hands her a fully furnished R$150,000 property plus R$50,000 in severance.
- Federal Police, labor inspectors and Ceará's social services carried out the joint rescue.
- She keeps the right to sue individually for wages owed across the other 43 years.
Why it matters: It pays for twelve of fifty-five years enslaved; the other forty-three exist only if she sues alone.
