This manual seeks to help justices of the peace have more information about the problem of forced labor in Peru and help them identify cases of forced labor so that they can implement the actions that correspond to them within the framework of their functions. Although justices of the peace are not empowered to resolve cases related to crimes, they have a crucial role insofar as their powers are limited to the field of prevention, awareness and inter-institutional coordination for handling cases of forced labor.

This report constitutes an exploratory analysis of two previously selected border areas of Peru: between Peru and Ecuador through Tumbes and the triple border between Peru and Brazil and Colombia. These borders show a growing presence of forced labor and human trafficking, and this report offers a proposal of criteria that allow decisions to be made to carry out future in-depth investigations of these borders by regional governments and public & private institutions.

This is a research study that seeks to document the form of recruitment and economic logic of human trafficking and forced labor, as well as to establish analytical connections with the importance of illegal economies and organized crime in the triple border area of Peru, Brazil, and Colombia. The study seeks to collect data that facilitates the development of intervention strategies and implementation of national public policies for prevention, detection and prosecution.

Training module in the 3-R Trainer's Kit.  This module deals with household and family responsibilities, access and resources in the family. In the first unit participants will analyze the division of work and the distribution of resources among women, men, girls and boys in families. The exercises show how norms and values about gender and age influence the roles and responsibilities of everybody in the family and the extent to which different family members can access and control family resources and benefits. In the second unit, participants find out what forms of work are appropriate for children and can be considered as acceptable ‘child work’ and what forms of work harm their development and is ‘child labour.’ Participants will also realize what are main hazards for children, what are the worst forms of child labour and why these need to be abolished as a matter of priority.
