The first demostration of the 2012-2013 protests commenced on August september 2012, the main point of said protests lied on the increase of fare regarding metro, bus and train transportations, however the goals of the protest soon evolved due to the growing disenchantment with the ruling class and it’s poor management of the social infrastructure, examples such as: poor education and healthcare, high cost living, multiple scandals of corruption embezzlement and overbilling in the government and multiple reports of abuse and special benefits conceded to Brazilian politicians, among others. Said protests resulted in 651 arrested citizens aside from those gravely injured and murdered. 1.2. Given Brazil’s evergrowing economy over the last years, migrations to said country have increased a considerable amount, given the fact that a lot of people have found themselves seeking oportunities of better living conditions.

class is subject of to laboral and living conditions that resamble slavery, examples are such as: said imigrants being victims of large depts with their landowners or employers, long periods of forced labor and general degranding conditions. The number of imingrants rescued from similar outlooks has grown inmensly in the last few years. Mexico: 2. 1.

country, all of them where found in ilegal sweing workshops, belonging to one of Brazil’s biggest companies in the textile industry and therefore raising speculation that it is slavery substaining more than one of brazil’s major industries. As of period of 2014-2015 there have been multiple similar cases regarding degrading labor conditions discovered throughout various locations of the country reported to the autorities. 5.2.1. Regarding the murders of the 43 students as of recent dates only two people have been identified, among those a father and a son, the attorney states that both had been captured by the police prior to their deaths acording to the last call ever made by the subjects, which was directed to their respective families, aside from this there’s no mayor information regarding the bodies, however it is alleged by specialists that the state in which they were found is clear proof of the violence this territory has been facing for years. As of 2014 the authorities confirmed that a drug gang member confessed to killing 43 students from a teacher’s college in the country south, although the bodies previously found are yet to be identified, said gang member described a grisly disposal of the bodies burning them on pyre and then pulverizing their teeth and bones to prevent their remains from being identified. 5.3.1.

The whole episode is emblematic of Mexico’s corruption with elected officals and security forces colluding with drug cartel. Peña Nietos processor Felipe Calderon declared war at the cartels and this has cost a several humans life in the time laps 2006-2012 that death toll has now reached 100,000.
