A interseccionalidade nas relações de trabalho das mulheres migrantes

Abstract

This project proposes to critically analyze the working relationships of migrant women, through an intersectional perspective, verifying whether the overlapping of characteristics that are usually discriminated against, such as gender and being an international migrant, contributes to greater exploitation of female workers, who are targets for more precarious and low-paid sectors. Thus, it is intended to observe in the available data and statistical samples which areas of the labor market are occupied by migrant workers and what are the differences between the experience of migrant men and migrant women. The hypothesis raised is that, to the overlapping of xenophobia, gender, prejudices influence the working relationships of migrant women, setting place for an intersectional vulnerability and therefore it is essential that the situation of migrants, specifically women migrants, is observed from an intersectional perspective, seeking to understand the influence that overlapping discriminations have on the development of a quality life in the receiving country.
