Resumo: This article discusses the political activism of Brazilian domestic workers and its importance for the legal advances of the professional category. To this end, we trace the history of the movement back to the founding of the first Association of Domestic Workers in Brazil and follow its trajectory through its national congresses as well as its activities in the international arena. What we observe throughout this long process is a practice of relationship-building with trade union, Black, and feminist movements. We also observe that in the struggle surrounding each legal advancement, the political activism of domestic-worker unions was present. Regardless of whether domestic workers have achieved full legal parity with other workers, we present the history of this movement as articulating a clear demand to decolonize Brazilian social and racial relations.

Para ello, retomamos la fundación de la primera Asociación de Trabajadoras Domésticas en el Brasil y pasamos por la organización nacional de la categoría a través de sus congresos nacionales y su extensión al ámbito internacional. Lo que vemos en este largo proceso es una articulación política con los movimientos sindicales de clase, el movimiento negro y el movimiento feminista. Constatamos que, en todos los momentos de avances legales, el activismo político de las trabajadoras estuvo presente. Independientemente de las trabajadoras domésticas conquistar o no una igualdad legal y de facto con los demás trabajadores, registramos esta historia exitosa, que puede verse como una lucha decolonial.Cet article traite de l’activisme politique des employées de maison et de son importance pour les conquêtes juridiques de la catégorie. Pour ce faire, nous sommes remontés à la fondation de la première Association des Employées de Maison au Brésil et nous nous sommes penchés sur l’organisation nationale de la catégorie par le biais de ses congrès nationaux et de son déploiement dans l’arène internationale. Nous avons pu observer dans ce long processus qu’une articulation politique avec les mouvements syndicaux, le mouvement noir et le mouvement féministe. Nous avons constaté qu’à chaque fois que des progrès juridiques se sont réalisés, l’activisme politique des employées de maison était présent. Que ces travailleuses aient obtenu ou non une égalité juridique et de fait avec les autres travailleurs, nous avons consigné cette histoire réussie, qui peut être considérée comme une lutte décoloniale.Este artigo discute o ativismo político das trabalhadoras domésticas e sua importância para os avanços legais da categoria. Para tanto, retornamos à fundação da primeira Associação das Trabalhadoras Domésticas no Brasil e passamos pela organização nacional da categoria por meio de seus congressos nacionais e sua extensão à arena internacional. O que vemos nesse longo processo é uma articulação política com os movimentos classista-sindicais, movimento negro e movimento feminista. Constatamos que, em todos os momentos de avanços legais, o ativismo político das trabalhadoras estava presente. Independentemente de as trabalhadoras domésticas conquistarem ou não uma equiparação legal e de fato com os demais trabalhadores, registramos essa história exitosa, que pode ser vista como uma luta decolonial.Fundação Carlos Chagas2024-11-05info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://publicacoes.fcc.org.br/cp/article/view/10741Cadernos de Pesquisa; Vol. 54 (2024); e10741Cadernos de Pesquisa; Vol. 54 (2024); e10741Cadernos de Pesquisa; Vol. 54 (2024); e10741Cadernos de Pesquisa; v. 54 (2024); e107411980-53140100-1574reponame:Cadernos de Pesquisa (Fundação Carlos Chagas.
