Resumo: By examining the Brazilian and international feminist bibliography and research data analysis in the pandemic period (2020/2021), this essay proposes to discuss the relationship between education, sexual division of labor, and gender inequality. The actions designed to control the disease amplified the problem of (non) division of reproductive work, staggered by the suspension of school activities, since the State, through schools, helped, to some extent, the care of children. Chores increased as a consequence of people restricting their day-to-day activities to domestic environments. Specialized literature shows that the activities essential for maintaining life (cooking, cleaning, taking care of offspring) are historically invisible and fall on women. Data observed that when the Brazilian State made remote education possible, it escalated women as the focal point of the student/school dialogue, without considering that this woman suffered from the increased burden of household chores and the maintenance of her productive work. It turns out that when the previous school/family “pact” collapsed, it was for women that governments and society returned full responsibility. The article concludes that the pandemic exposed that men and women must equally support the care tasks.

As ações designadas ao controle da doença amplificaram o problema da (não) divisão do trabalho reprodutivo, escalonada pela suspensão das atividades escolares, uma vez que o Estado, por meio das escolas, auxiliava, em alguma medida, o cuidado com as crianças. As pessoas ficaram restritas aos ambientes domésticos e, por consequência, os afazeres aumentaram. Afirma-se que as atividades indispensáveis para a manutenção da vida (cozinhar, limpar, cuidar da prole) são historicamente invisibilizadas e recaem sobre as mulheres. Observa-se que o Estado brasileiro quando possibilitou a educação remota escalou as mulheres como ponto focal da interlocução estudante/escola, sem considerar que essa mulher sofria com o aumento da carga dos afazeres domésticos e da manutenção do seu trabalho produtivo. Constata-se que quando o “pacto” anterior escola/família desmoronou, foi para as mulheres que os governos e a sociedade devolveram a integral responsabilidade. O artigo conclui que a pandemia escancarou que as tarefas de cuidado precisam ser igualmente suportadas por homens e mulheres de forma paritária.Editora PUC Minas2021-06-21info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://periodicos.pucminas.br/index.php/Direito/article/view/2601010.5752/P.2318-7999.2021v24n47p183-206Revista da Faculdade Mineira de Direito; v. 24 n. 47 (2021): REVISTA DA FACULDADE MINEIRA DE DIREITO - PUC MINAS; 183-2062318-79991808-9429reponame:Revista da Faculdade Mineira de Direito (Online)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais (PUC Minas)instacron:PUC_MINSporhttp://periodicos.pucminas.br/index.php/Direito/article/view/26010/18196Copyright (c) 2021 Revista da Faculdade Mineira de Direitoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMachado, Monica Sapucaia Bertolin, Patrícia Tuma Martins Andrade, Denise Almeida de 2022-03-10T13:43:24Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/26010Revistahttp://periodicos.pucminas.br/index.php/Direito/indexPRIhttp://periodicos.pucminas.br/index.php/Direito/oai||revistafmd@pucminas.br2318-79991808-9429opendoar:2022-03-10T13:43:24Revista da Faculdade Mineira de Direito (Online) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais (PUC Minas)false
