Interseccionalidade e a luta pelo piso salarial na enfermagem brasileira: gênero, raça e classe em perspectiva

Abstract

This dissertation discusses the importance of intersectionality in the fight for the nursing wage floor in Brazil, highlighting how advances in the category's struggles interact with the gender, race and class issues that mark the category. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the vulnerability and devaluation of nursing professionals, the majority of whom are black women. Nursing is a historically undervalued and overexploited category. The analysis was conducted from a feminist and Marxist perspective, supported by the concept of intersectionality, seeking to highlight the importance of gender and race dynamics in the debate and their contribution to the consolidation of the salary floor. The conclusion is that the nursing struggle for the wage floor exemplifies the need to recognize and integrate gender and race issues in labor struggles, strengthening the cohesion and articulation capacity of the working class as a whole.
