In recent months due to Covid-19 and lockdowns across the world, intimate partner violence has drawn increasing attention. In some countries, mandatory lockdowns and quarantines have been accompanied by rising rates of violence, sparking public awareness campaigns. However, intimate partner violence is a phenomenon which persists across time and cultures. This study focuses on the female Brazilian migrants who become victims of intimate partner violence and the role of social support networks, as previous research has indicated a need for research on specific communities. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 24 victims and professionals who work with these victims in Japan, the United States, Germany, and Portugal. The data provided examples of positive and negative social support from family and friends and suggested effective alternatives to informal social support and also how to give more effective assistance to family and friends who may be victims of intimate partner violence. The results show that Brazilian victims of intimate partner violence abroad often seek financial support from family members in Brazil; however, in the lack of such support, income from employment or government assistance may help a victim should she choose to leave an abusive relationship. In addition, the research suggests that professionals and friends can help victims by providing them with information about available social services and accompanying them to apply for these services.

Contextualização do tema: Os trabalhadores por plataforma muitas vezes não têm a possibilidade de estudo e qualificação, ou não pertencem às camadas mais nobres da sociedade que detém recursos financeiros que possibilitem o investimento de capital, depararam-se com o desemprego. Como forma de buscar soluções, recorrem a cenários de trabalhos informais e precários - como é o caso dos entregadores por plataforma - no sentido de não possuir uma regulamentação que confira direitos e garantias aos trabalhadores. Assim, além de estarem esses trabalhadores expostos à desigualdade no trabalho, sofrem também com uma assimetria pelo sistema de acumulação de riqueza Objetivos: O presente paper tem como objetivo verificar o problema de desigualdade social e econômica no Brasil como fruto do trabalho por plataforma digital. Metodologia: Utilizando-se do método hipotético-dedutivo e de pesquisas bibliográficas, levanta-se como hipótese do estudo a necessidade de serem criadas medidas de proteção dos trabalhadores por plataforma para amenizar as desigualdades sociais e econômicas no Brasil Resultados: Conclui-se, a partir do desenvolvimento do trabalho, que a adoção de políticas públicas, em conjunto com a colaboração internacional, seriam uma alternativa para garantir direitos aos trabalhadores.
