INSERTION OF BLACK WOMEN IN THE FORMAL LABOR MARKET AND THE IMPACT OF AFFIRMATIVE ACTION POLICIES ON THE REDUCTION OF INEQUALITIES: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS BETWEEN BRAZIL, ARGENTINA AND URUGUAY

Abstract

The insertion of black women in the formal labor market and the impact of affirmative action policies on the reduction of inequalities make up the core of the ongoing research project, which proposes to carry out a comparative analysis between Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay, using an exploratory, descriptive and qualitative approach by the comparative method. The central problem is to determine how mapping and evaluating the current situation of these women can reveal asymmetries and difficulties. To this end, it is important to understand how these findings can support the creation and implementation of inclusive labor public policies. An essential secondary question to be investigated is whether the gender-sensitive protocols in force in Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay are being effectively applied by civil servants and magistrates to promote access to justice and the inclusion of black women in the formal labor market. The adoption of affirmative public policies, such as the Protocol for Judgment with a Gender Perspective in Brazil, has the potential to mitigate these inequalities. This protocol, specifically, can serve as a model for Argentina and Uruguay, promoting diversity, equal rights and opportunities, the realization of human rights, in addition to contributing to the dignity of the human person and the fulfillment of the SDGs of the 2030 Agenda.
