Resumo:
Brazil, since the time when it was a colony until today , has undergone changes in its laws
glimpsing adapt to growth and social development . In this context , domestic work has also
been transformed , since initially found itself directly related to slavery , but that was being
cut over many years , leading the housework now played in most homes of Brazilian families
. Domestic work it is a growing activity in society , considering the new reality of Brazilian
families , whose members are leaving their homes to seek labor market conditions to support
their families , which ends up causing the need of a worker to perform household chores . In
this vein , with the importance of the activity developed by the domestic worker this study is
developed in order to analyze the rights granted to that class of workers , from its origin to the
present time , weighing the legal impact of these social changes over time , pondering its
applicability in the context of the Brazilian reality , specifically with regard to the changes
introduced when the Constitutional Amendment n°. 72/2013 which granted new wording to
the sole paragraph of Article 7 of the Constitution , guaranteeing new rights for domestic
workers . To do so , it will use the deductive methods , history , comparative literature and
enabling understandings considered in this study . Abstracting from the present study that
even before the repair of an apparent discrimination has long suffered by these workers , you
cannot believe that equality envisaged in the Constitution was finally respected , since the
rights were only standardized , while there is still a long way for them to be put into practice
and thus ensure true equality .
