As interseccionalidades na inserção laboral das migrantes bolivianas em oficinas de costura de São Paulo

Abstract

This study investigates the living and working conditions of Bolivian migrant women in São Paulo’s garment workshops from an intersectional perspective. Initially, the research provides an overview of Bolivian migration to Brazil aimed at labor integration in São Paulo’s clothing industry, examining the subcontracting mechanisms that expose these individuals to labor exploitation. Following this, intersectionality is presented as a theoretical framework to understand the specificities of female mobility and the gaps in Brazilian migration legislation. This approach highlights the specific violations experienced by Bolivian migrants in the textile sector and how these are exacerbated by the intersection of their gender, race, class, and national origin.
