A importância da aplicação do art. 7º-A do Estatuto da OAB: perspectiva histórica da mulher na advocacia e o respaldo à maternidade

Abstract

The present work sought to demonstrate the difficulties faced in the implementation of norms that seek to guarantee women's rights in advocacy, especially in the condition experienced by pregnant women, nursing mothers, adopters or those who gave birth. Therefore, we sought to briefly analyze the history of women's struggles within the profession that insists on maintaining sexist traits, even with the norm that guarantees the rights and prerogatives of women, that is, article 7-A of the Statute of Advocacy. In addition, the difficulty of women in being inserted in the labor market during or after motherhood was also described, addressing the importance of paternity leave as a way to reduce discrimination against women within professions in general, but especially in law. At the same time, cases that violate the rights and prerogatives of women were analyzed, aiming at the difficulty in having effective punishment, as well as the lack of public policies to guarantee them, reaching the conclusion that the violation of the right of the pregnant, lactating lawyer , adopter or who gives birth is perpetuated by the lack of effectiveness and knowledge of the norm.
