Direitos Humanos e a Erradicação do Trabalho Infantil: Contexto Normativo e Perspectivas

Abstract

Over the years, significant advances have been made by humanity both internationally and nationally, with regard to the eradication of child labour. However, despite the quantitative and territorial extension of the norms and instruments that promote the human rights of children and adolescents, child labour continues to be a reality in Brazilian society. In view of this, the present dissertation aims to answer the following question: How to effect the eradication of child labour in Brazil, through the State's commitment to the precepts of Human Rights contained in the legal orders? Therefore, its general objective is to investigate child labour in Brazil, identifying alternatives for its eradication through State action, through the precepts of Human Rights. In order to achieve the desired objective, this research uses, as for the objectives, exploratory and descriptive, bibliographic and documentary research. The deductive method of approach is adopted, starting from generic concepts to its particularization and regarding the procedures, the bibliographic and documentary methods are used. The thematic relevance of this approach lies in the fact that, by electing 2021 as the World Day Against Child Labour, the United Nations General Assembly found a stagnation in world progress towards the eradication of early work, awakening to the need to assertive and urgent actions by the State and society as a whole.
