A atuação do serviço social frente às violações de gênero no ambiente de trabalho: reflexões da produção acadêmica brasileira

Abstract

This research focuses on gender-based violence in the workplace. Its objective is to analyze how the scientific literature in Social Work has addressed this issue between 2020 and 2025, based on publications available through the CAPES Journal Portal. The research problem seeks to understand how Social Work scholarship has debated gender-based violence in the workplace during this period. The study is based on the hypothesis that, although discussions on gender have advanced within the field of Social Work, there remains a limited number of studies specifically addressing gender-based violence in labor relations. The research is grounded in the theoretical contributions of Kergoat (2009), Brito (2005), Iamamoto (2009), among others. It is a qualitative and exploratory study conducted through a narrative literature review, with bibliographic data collected from the CAPES Journal Portal. The findings indicate that women from working-class backgrounds continue to be exposed to various forms of violence and labor precariousness. Furthermore, Social Work plays a significant role in confronting these inequalities by contributing to the defense of human rights, the promotion of social rights, and the strengthening of initiatives aimed at building a more just, democratic society free from all forms of oppression.
