Is a feminist and anti-racist Labor Justice System possible?

Abstract

This article aims to examine the historical context in which labor law arises and the discourse that underlies it. The objective is to demonstrate how labor rights, despite the social commitment, reproduces a rationality attached to a white and masculine view of the world. It is also analyzed how much this rationality compromises the jurisdictional response to different conflicts involving different bodies. It demonstrates how actions such as the Protocol for Judgment with a Gender Perspective signed by the National Council of Justice have the merit of shedding a light on issues whose potential for a change in rationality cannot be neglected. It proposes, however, to go further, encouraging the creation of spaces for the academic discussion of sensitive topics and the resignification of legal institutes, from a perspective contaminated by decolonial, anti-racist and feminist readings.
