Abstract

This paper analyses gender issues in domestic work and care from theo retical perspectives, contributing to the data and proposals of public policies organized in the last years in Brazil. We discussed the critical contributions of Susan Moller and Christine Delphy and the counterarguments of John Rawls, Ronald Dworkin and Nancy Fraser. We bring to the debate legislative proposals from the Chamber of Representa tives. In conclusion, we consider that the legislative proposals should include care and domestic work in its gender, race and class dimensions, through clear mechanisms that enhance a social perspective of justice and development that add up to subjects of justice and human rights; the same time that affects the potential of individuals.
