Escravidão contemporânea: a configuração do serviço doméstico em condição análoga à escravidão sob o olhar do direito trabalhista e seus mecanismos de combate e prevenção no Brasil

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to understand the influence of the historical context on the evolution of labor rights for domestic workers, highlighting domestic service in a condition similar to slavery as a threat to Brazilian rights, as well as identifying current challenges and mechanisms to combat and prevention for domestic services in conditions similar to slavery in Brazil through descriptive and bibliographical research. Throughout the work, a historical contextualization will be made with the purpose of relating the past and present from slavery to salaried work, as well as an analysis of the formation of labor law and its role for domestic workers. The relationship between the slavery context and domestic service was also highlighted, as was work in conditions similar to slavery and the relationship between this crime and the service of these workers as a threat to Brazilian rights. Given this scenario, it was important to highlight the evolution of devices for these workers, and the existence of challenges to this day in this service in conditions analogous to slavery, and the need for current and new mechanisms to combat and prevent domestic work in conditions analogous to slavery. In this sense, in addition to the historical-social importance, resuming this debate is of paramount importance for understanding and confronting such problems, with the need for its discussion as it is a topic that meets national concerns, that is, it directly interferes in the country's sociopolitical context, which also denotes its academic importance. The methodological line used during the construction of this project has a qualitative hypothetical-deductive method of approach, formulating a possible hypothesis to explain the problem, and proving it as true or false, thus being an exploratory research. , through bibliographical research. Given this scenario, it is necessary to coordinate broad efforts in several areas. This ranges from the implementation of comprehensive legislation to restrict this practice to the development of action plans that involve governments at all levels, unions, worker associations and other social partnerships with the strictest applicability of laws and social awareness.
