ATTENTION: ANONYMOUS PERSON – Minas Gerais State, Brazil. 2021/02/04 photo: Tatiana Cardeal/OXFAM Brasil Rafael (not real name), with coffee beans and a typical sieve used for farming. Rafael is 45 years old and has been working in the coffee fields for 21 years. He developed a spinal injury and today lives on pain medication. He is married, father of two children, and lives in the north of Minas Gerais. He was rescued in conditions similar to slavery while working during the coffee harvest on a farm in the south of the state. He says that the crop was in a mountainous region and difficult to access. There was a risk of accidents and attacks by venomous animals. No protective equipment was offered. He had to buy it himself. All the food also had to be paid for by him. The boss deducted these amounts from his salary, a practice known as debt bondage, and at the end of the month, Rafael had little money left over.
