CONSIDERATIONS AND EFFECTIVENESS IN RELATION TO DECISIONS AND AFFIRMATIVE LEGISLATION THAT SEEK EQUITY BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN (Law 14.611/2023)
Main Article Content
Abstract
The search for gender equity has been one of the main challenges faced over the past decades and the gender pay gap is one of the most evident manifestations of this inequality. Unfortunately, gender-based wage discrimination is an issue that goes beyond the financial sphere, it impacts women's professional life, personal life, and quality of life, but it also goes beyond the individual sphere, that is, it permeates several spheres, including that of the collectivity, that of the sense of justice. In view of this, with the entry into force of Law 14.611 / 2023, several questions come to the fore, so the idea of this article is to introductively recall and better understand the various challenges faced by women over the years, which makes us understand a little better the emergence of the wage gap between men and women. We will also address the advances made over time, as well as the challenges that still persist. Subsequently, understand what are the points brought by Law 14.611/2023 that were already provided for in the Federal Constitution and Consolidation of Labor Laws (CLT), and the new points of this legislation, in addition to the importance of affirmative decisions and legislation with a gender lens. One of the main points sought with this article is that we can understand that equal pay between men and women is not only a matter of social justice, but also of economic development and collective well-being. It is essential that all sectors of society come together to combat this persistent inequality, seeking to build a fairer and more equal future for all and more than that, everyone should be a feminist.
