A importância da garantia de acesso à mulher ao trabalho digno e seu impacto no desenvolvimento sustentável

Abstract

For the effective promotion of sustainable economic development, it is necessary to push women towards autonomy and equal conditions and opportunities, with access to the production of their own existence through paid work being a key point to guarantee their freedom and independence. Stuck in the private dimension of the home, playing outdated gender roles, responding to harmful stereotypes, corresponding to a cruel sexual division of labor, female existence is subjugated by a macho and patriarchal culture, which attributes to men the power even to define it, in a complementary and residual identity, which kept him as a non-subject of rights for centuries. Although women's struggle for rights has raised them to the same level as men, such equality, as well as the rights conquered, are not effective in the face of the entire socio-cultural structure that reinforces and feeds back their oppression. Just as it was up to the State to recognize and guarantee women's rights, it is also up to it to act in the deconstruction of the prisons and violence that still affect women today, promoting educational actions, repressing violence, stimulating research and promoting equality between men and women. Gender as a priority in its work, and this centrality in female empowerment is encouraged by the UN and its agencies, as it is an impacting factor in promoting sustainable development. State action via inclusive public policies, affirmative action, investment in infrastructure and education, oriented towards gender issues, should promote an economic view of domestic and care activities, historically imposed on women, breaking with the separation between public and private imposed by the capitalism and neoclassical economics. Its support should also be aimed at promoting the necessary infrastructure to facilitate women's access to the labor market, directly attacking problems such as the difficulty of access to day care centers and spaces for caring for the elderly, vulnerable, children with disabilities; encourage responsible paternity and the equal division of tasks within the home, including structural changes such as “solo” motherhood, act jointly with companies, encouraging the hiring of women and repressing discriminatory conduct, revisiting its planning and promoting a public system of employment and income that synchronizes and universalizes actions aimed at full employment, that is, it must promote women's human dignity by bringing constitutional provisions to real life. For women in search of their development, it is necessary to revisit their identity, concepts and culture to identify what truly defines them and what has been imposed on them, seeking to build a postmodern identity that is free, relieving becoming and achieving full citizenship, including economic, contributing with its work to the development of the national economy, to the improvement of the quality of life, to the production of human and social capital in a new context of protagonism. In the work environment, within a vision of humanist capitalism, you can find support and encouragement, as well as through social and solidarity economy ventures, incipient in Brazil, but which positively impact those who decide to undertake.
