Domestic workers' rights: disclosure and awareness

Abstract

This theoretical research has as its main objective to serve as a basis for a extension activity in the subject "General Theory of Law", supervised by Prof. Dr. Henrique Savonitti Miranda. Our intention is to establish a connection between theory and practice, especially considering the recent changes resulting from the Amendment Constitutional nº 72/2013 and Complementary Law nº 150/2015. We observed that, despite the existence of a broad body of law, persistent violations of human rights continue to occur fundamental rights, the dignity of the human person and, in particular, the rights of workers, including those who are employed in the domestic sector.The choice of this topic is due to the pressing need to understand the implications of Labor Reform and its consequences for workers, as well as the importance of find ways to improve the legal system to ensure more effective protection of these rights. This research seeks to study the current legislation that encompasses workers domestic, publicize these rights, and propose solutions that seek a fairer and equitable rights of domestic workers. We believe that by addressing these issues, we can contribute significantly to the development of the legal field and to the advancement of social justice in our society.
