Profissões de rua: estudo sobre suas realidades no cenário de invisibilidade no Brasil

Abstract

The valorization of human life in production systems must be considered one of the main points for the success of any professional activity, within this, health and safety at work are essential when the purpose is to maintain a pleasant, dignified and productive work environment. Considering this fact, the present work's central focus is to understand street professions, especially street cleaners, taxi drivers and motorcycle taxi drivers in their work realities that are still so dispersed in Brazil. The objective is to raise informational awareness through the analysis of the legal system, business vision and the performance of Public Administration, based on bibliographic and qualitative studies. We can see the consequences of the lack of information and care for these workers – who, for the most part, have no knowledge about their working conditions, face neglect, abuse and sometimes general invisibility. In this sense, this work intends to awaken a new perspective, providing ways for these professionals to receive the recognition they deserve and the more than fair support they have long sought.
