Petrobras will participate in several activities during the 3rd World Congress against Sexual Exploration of Children and Adolescents, scheduled for November 25 to 28, in Rio de Janeiro. On the 27th, the company will take part in the Social Responsibility Initiatives panel and in two workshops:
the Global platforms to confront the sexual exploitation of children and adolescents; and the Corporate transportation sector platforms and the confrontation of the sexual exploitation of children and adolescents, with the presentation of the Go Well Child Program.
Several projects related to guaranteeing the rights of children and adolescents that Petrobras sponsors will be in the Rio Centro, where the event is being held. One of them is the Go Well Truck Driver Caravan, which carries out specific actions to fight sexual exploitation and child labor by carrying out campaigns on the roads, service stations, and over the media seeking to make the society sensitive to the problem. In addition to divulging this work, there will be a Caravan stage at the event, which will welcome several cultural attractions, and the Human Rights Exhibit film screenings, always between 12:30 and 6:30 PM.
Petrobras is the company that invests the most in social responsibility in Brazil. Through 2012, 1.2 billion Reais will be invested in social projects.
In 2007 alone, 110 million Reais were allotted to 508 projects involved in guaranteeing the rights of children and adolescents.
In a long-term perspective that seeks to break the cycles that perpetuate misery in Brazil, the Company’s actions are aligned to the paradigm of providing full protection and treating children and adolescents as subjects not only of rights but as an absolute priority as well, since these are people who are in a peculiar development condition.
