As manifestações do trabalho doméstico análogo ao trabalho escravo no Brasil contemporâneo

Abstract

This study explores the issue of domestic work analogous to slavery in Brazil, delving into its historical roots, social influences and economic implications, together with its manifestations in contemporary times. Employing methodologies bibliographical and qualitative-quantitative documents, the research delves into the analysis of heritage of slavery, the effects of patriarchy, and the continued disparities of gender, race, and class. The work reveals the persistence of exploitative practices that, often masked by normality in domestic contexts, remain difficult to detect and eradicate. Stands out also the importance of public policies and the active role of governmental organizations and non-governmental organizations in the fight against these forms of labor exploitation. It also shows that, despite significant advances in legal and regulatory terms, there are still challenges formidable to be overcome. The study concludes that, to effect real change, it is necessary not only to apply existing legislation, but also to develop new strategies that address the deep roots of labor exploitation analogous to slavery. This includes the strengthening support networks for victims, promoting gender and racial equality, and creating economic opportunities for historically marginalized groups.
