A vulnerabilidade das trabalhadoras domésticas durante a pandemia da COVID-19 no Brasil: estudos acerca da (in)efetividade da proteção laborista

Abstract

This study sought to analyze the vulnerability of domestic workers during the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil and evaluate the effectiveness of labor protection for this segment. Therefore, it was used doctrinal sources, documents and data collection, in order to verify the main difficulties faced in the search for legal effectiveness, especially during the pandemic period. In this sense, we sought to highlight the treatment given to domestic workers, which historically have been marked by social and legal vulnerability, whose situation is enhanced by the increase in informality, unemployment and precariousness of work.Thus, we sought to ascertain whether the measures and protection mechanisms implemented were sufficient to ensure the safety and rights of these workers. Thus, from the study, it was possible to reach the conclusion that it is necessary to implement new effective forms of protection for domestic workers, in order to ensure adequate working conditions and safety.
