A inserção da mulher no mercado de trabalho: discriminação, assédio, diferença salarial entre os gêneros e avanços na busca pela igualdade

Abstract

For a long time, women were subordinate to men, needing their permission for several acts of civil life and women power was subsidiary to men's. Its functions were limited to private life, taking care of the house, husband and children while men were responsible for taking family's decisions at work and in society. Throughout history, women were inserted in the labor market, where they suffered a lot of discrimination and exploitation. Thus, there was the need to ensure women some labor rights, which have been developed and improved over time. Still, women remain subjected to discrimination, sexual and moral harassment, and are still receiving lower salaries than men for the same job. All this becomes worse considering black women. Fights are still needed so that more rights are achieved by women for equality between genders.
