🇧🇷🇿🇦🇺🇸 U.S. Puts Brazil and South Africa on Human Trafficking Watch List
The U.S. State Department announced that Brazil and South Africa have been placed on the 2025 “Tier 2 Watch List” for human trafficking, citing what it says is declining performance in victim identification, prosecutions, and enforcement. The classification carries risk of sanctions if improvements are not made.
Critics note that this move comes amid strained relations with those governments and may be used as leverage. Some analysts argue it distracts from internal problems in the U.S. and doubles as a geopolitical tool.
