A CRITICAL ANALYSIS ABOUT THE EFFECTIVENESS OF HUMAN RIGHT TO WORK: AN IMPASSE IN GENDER DISCRIMINATION/ ANALISE CRITICA DA EFETIVIDADE DO DIREITO HUMANO AO TRABALHO: UM IMPASSE NA DISCRIMINACAO DE GENERO

Parting from a qualitative analysis of empirical data available in the Gender's Reports codeveloped by the Geographical and Statistical Brazilian Institute (IBGE), the Politics for Women Public Office (SMP) and the International Labor Organization (ILO), this paper aims to demonstrate that the gender discrimination still happens to women in the work relations, which may be explained by the difficulties linked to their job insertion, permanence and development. The results obtained, based on the analysis of gender reports and literature review, show that this scenario is caused by the social construction of gender identity, according to the reiteration of rules that regulate and produce the various corporeal beings, that follow a heterosexual and androcentric logic. This process of social identity formation confirms the sexual labor division, which engenders relations of exploration, domination and oppression in the women's productive and reproductive work. Finally, based on a critical reading of the internal rules and of the international treaties that regulates women's work, and on judicial decisions involving their work, this study suggests that is necessary to adopt politics of positive discrimination and to establish the Human Right to work concept as an emancipatory dimension, so that equal opportunities can be promoted and gender materials differences can be corrected. This research used qualitative, exploratory and bibliographic instruments.Keywords: Gender. Human Rights. Discrimination. Sexual labor division.

Os resultados obtidos, a partir da analise dos relatorios de genero e da revisao de literatura, evidenciam que essa circunstancia decorre da construcao social da identidade de genero, mediante a reiteracao de normas que regulam e produzem os diversos seres corporais, conforme uma logica heterossexual e androcentrica. Esse processo de formacao da identidade social acaba por confirmar a divisao sexual do trabalho, que engendra as relacoes de exploraca
