MTE develops actions to guarantee the labor rights of domestic workers

Here is a summary of the document:

Title: Dia Nacional das Trabalhadoras Domu00e9sticas

Summary: The 27th of April is celebrated as the National Day of Domestic Workers. However, domestic workers still live in invisibility, being victims of work similar to slavery and many live in informal work. They were the most affected during the COVID-19 pandemic, losing their jobs and many have not been reinstated.

The government has been working to ensure rights, social protection, and decent work for domestic workers. The Ministry of Labor and Employment has created the National Coordination of Domestic Work Inspection and Care (CONADOM) to verify the fulfillment of workers' rights.

The document highlights the importance of condemning work similar to slavery, which is a significant problem in the domestic sector. The majority of domestic workers are women, over 46 years old, and earn less than the minimum wage, according to the National Survey by Sample of Domicile (PNAD).

The document also emphasizes the need to ensure decent work and social protection for domestic workers. The Ministry of Labor and Employment has launched a campaign to raise awareness about the importance of regular inspections and has made progress in registering domestic workers and their rights.

Overall, the document highlights the importance of ensuring dignity and rights for domestic workers, many of whom face exploitation and invisibility in society.
