| dc.description.abstract | Although the globalization strategy has contributed for the advance of several economic sectors, it has ended up contributing to the loss of human and labour rights, and to the aggravation of social exclusions and signs of poverty around the globe, specially in the textile sector. Despite the existence of broad legislation in the national and international scope, contrary to any type of slavery, flagrant of workers under situations analog to slavery, international human traffic, sexual exploitation of women and use of child labour, practices nowadays recognized as modern slavery, are recurrent in the fashion industry. In this sense, the present paper addresses non-state responses to the precariousness of work in the textile industry: the role of human rights and self-regulation. The research is justified in the face of the inefficiency of the Nation States in the protection of fundamental guarantees of the workers who work in the textile segment. Therefore, it is more than ever current and deserves attention in the face of repeated cases of precarious work. A systematic proposal based on the dialectical method is launched. | en |
