JARAMILLO FONNEGRA, Verónica. Access to justice: migrant domestic workers in Buenos Aires City. E&c [online]. 2019, vol.1, n.8, pp.131-159. ISSN 2477-9245. https://doi.org/10.37228/estado_comunes.v1.n8.2019.103.
The Autonomous City of Buenos Aires is the Latin American city with the most migrant domestic work, in the most of the case, made by women. Although between 2003 and 2013 some regulations that improved the rights of this group of people were modified, access to the labor justice of these women continues to be a topic that has been little talked about. It is for the above, that the purpose of this article is to expose the main obstacles that migrant domestic workers experienced when trying to access justice between 2011 and 2015 at a time of legislative transition. Some of the main conclusions show that the way in which domestic work is carried out affects the possibilities of accessing justice. Not only because of the private characteristic of the home where the work is carried out, but also because the bond of affection between the employer and the domestic worker constitutes limits when has it come to demanding. Likewise, some material obstacles are exposed, such as the lack of time and money to claim rights among other limits for access to justice. The methodology used is the activist ethnography that mixes qualitative research-action techniques with documentary analysis, especially of normative.
