events that BASIC and WMD Awareness are holding at universities designed to

stakeholders drawn from across Europe; policy makers and practitioners working on
different aspects of traveller lifestyles and relevant government, health and social

By working with the Federation of Rural Workers of the Satate of Sao Paulo
(FERAESP) - the biggest trade union of sugarcane workers in the country - the
project aims to investigate the difference between certified and non-certified sugar
mills from the perspective of their employees. The purpose of this is three-fold: (1)
to feedback to Bonsucro improvements that could be made in their standard and
their auditing system; (2) to provide robust evidence to government authorities
about the enforcement of labour law in the sector; and (3) to prepare the way for a
larger study looking at more sugar mills and in other Brazilian states.
