Programa Na Mão Certa

Survey

Introduction

The Profile of Truck Drivers in Brazil

This survey was conducted on the most important Brazilian highways and it outlines a broad profile of the Brazilian trucker. This unprecedented survey, carried out on Brazil’s main highways, delineated a comprehensive profile of Brazilian truck drivers. The study was conducted by the graduate program in psychology of the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul in partnership with Childhood Brasil (Instituto WCF-Brasil). It offers one of the most comprehensive studies on who today's active Brazilian truck drivers are and how they live.

Transporting more than 60% of all cargo carried throughout the country, these professionals spend most of their lives in the truck cabin.

The objective of the study was to get to know truck drivers and learn, among other things, how they deal with the issue of sexual exploitation, considering that they bump into this problem on almost every road they use. The results will assist the actions of Programa Na Mão Certa (On the Right Track Program), conceived by Childhood Brasil, which aims to put society into action and confront child and adolescent sexual exploitation on the road way s of Brazil.
