OLIVEIRA, Antônio Leal de e NASCIMENTO, Manuela Andrade do. Brazilian Maids and their Silent Vulnerability in the Face of the COVID-19 Pandemic: Memory Theory and Effectiveness of Fundamental Rights. Opin. jurid. [online]. 2022, vol.21, n.45, e9. Epub 14-Jun-2024. ISSN 1692-2530. https://doi.org/10.22395/ojum.v21n45a9.
The objective of this work is to use the figure of the maid as subject of study to demonstrate that the problem of social inequality and the constant violation of fundamental rights is not something new, it is something perennial and, at the same time, so unknown in Brazil, that the new coronavirus was the only agent capable of further evidencing this difficult reality that is, in many senses, hidden. Thus, the hypothetical-deductive method was chosen to better develop the research, with the use of bibliographic review and document analysis, in order to analyze the condition of social vulnerability of domestic workers, which was aggravated by the pandemic. Even in a country with a constitutional text anchored in the dignity of the human person and citizenship, the conclusions of this study make clear the historical condition of subordination to which domestic workers are subjected, a condition that emerges in the pandemic scenario even more forcefully, as will be shown in this article. This being said, in order to break with this logic of violation of rights and exclusion, elements of the Theory of Memory will be used as tools capable of emancipating this working class that has been the target of oppression and invisibility for so long.
