BLACK HOUSEKEEPERS ON THE PANDEMIC: ASPECTS ON VULNERABILITY
Abstract
This work aims to reflect on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic related to domestic workers. Through a theoretical analysis based on researchers such as: Sonia Maria Giacomini, Kimberlé W. Crenshaw, Jurema Brites and Lélia Gonzales, it is possible to analyze how historical and social context directly influences the current labor dynamics. Structural racism along with intersectionality results at the profile of the profession being mainly of black women and from low-income background. At the present moment, due to the non-observance of the recommendations coming from the World Health Organization together with the precarisation of domestic service, these women need to put themselves and their families at risk of life, under penalty of losing their jobs in times of crisis. Therefore, through cases analysis, the lack of rights to this vulnerable portion of the Brazilian population is evident. In order to emphasize the State responsibility, showing there is a relation between state omission due to lack of public policies and inspection of the service. It is in this context that this study highlights veiled violence towards these women, since the Democratic Rule of Law should guide its precepts through human dignity.
