WHO WE ARE

The Network for the Promotion of Decent Work is an initiative funded by Laudes Foundation, the result of a collective effort that began in 2018, which brings together civil society organizations dedicated to combating slave labor and promoting the rights of migrants. Together, based on coordinated work, their actions to prevent slave labor are enhanced and strengthened in São Paulo.

In addition to the executing organizations, the network has the support of public power organizations and several partner entities that work in the fight against slave labor.

WHAT IS ACCOMPLISHED?

Between 2020 and 2021, the Network for the Promotion of Decent Work carried out actions that contributed to the promotion of decent work and free care for rescued workers:

Meeting with migrant workers and community leaders through visits to sewing workshops, conversation circles, lectures and assistance (social service, legal advice and migration regularization).
Training of Social Assistance educators and professionals in the public sector of São Paulo.
Emergency care service for victims.
Incidence for the adoption of public policies.

The “Common Home” concept, presented by Pope Francis in this integral approach to relationships, mirrors the philosophy lived by Francis of Assisi, who called in a contemplative way “Our Mother Earth”, which generates everything and nourishes beings. This understanding of “Home” assumes that tAll creation is part of this common place, like a large biodiverse family.

Linked to this conception of a Common Home, the Pope also calls on people to promote a new economy. The etymology oikos – “house” and nomia – “way of organizing”, reveal the importance of this concept. Economics, therefore, is in the field of how relationships are constructed and what we expect from them.An egalitarian relationship, which thinks of everyone, including the mode of production that considers nature as a sacred and respected element.

Casa Comum Magazine wants to be a platform for productions, narratives and information that connect agendas, demands, people and, in particular, visions for a more integral and ecological perspective. Because talking about defending rights is spreading the presence and potential of any and all forms of life.
