Labour in Russia remains highly segregated by gender, both across occupational spheres and within the employment hierarchy. Certain spheres that are female-dominated, such as education, healthcare and accounting, also have the lowest wage levels. Within each profession, women are concentrated at lower levels of the hierarchy, which is reflected in lower salaries. Additionally, large numbers of women, especially young women without educational qualifications, are employed in the informal sector, which leaves them at risk of violations of their labour rights.

The One

The 1970s brought forth strong movements for the financial empowerment of women and women’s labor rights protections in rural, developing world regions such as India. For instance, 1972 is when the Self Employed Women’s Association (SEWA) was registered as a trade union in India. Its main goals were full employment and self-reliance for women from the unorganized sectors. In the 1970s, several developing world countries saw the rise of microfinance interventions. What started as a public policy strategy and intervention for rural finance in the newly independent India of the 1950s has shaped subsequent patterns for rural credit and microcredit in most of the developing world. For instance, the Bank Dagang Bali (BDB) was established in Bali, Indonesia, in September of 1970, and the Grameen Bank was established in Bangladesh in 1974. Around the same time, the U.S.-based NGO Accion began to give loans in Brazil. The founder of the Grameen Bank, Muhammad Yunus, became a legend and is well known for his belief that women make better borrowers than men because they find ways to repay the loans. As a result, a development model has emerged that focuses on women’s self-empowerment through micro-entrepreneurialism and the promise of microfinance. Simultaneously, in global settings, there emerged a model of “Development 2.0,” which uses Web 2.0 tools and practices to mobilize connectivity, action at a distance, and relational, interpersonal investments through digital and mobile tools. The resulting model of microfinance therefore occurs through Web 2.0 and mobile phone–based technologies and also works to connect women and girls from the Global North (including immigrants) and women and girls from the Global South through movements such as The Girl Effect. What we see here is a paradigm based in a neoliberal market economy framework that mobilizes women’s labor from the Global North and from the Global South in the service of a global digital financial capitalism. This article maps out a literature review that connects the idea of Development 2.0 with the economic and political visibility of the girl child and of the woman as the one who empowers while also still needing to be empowered.

Thus, we sought to list what the CLT provides as rights for the worker, taking into account the health and issues surrounding maternity. In addition, we analyzed the historical context and the conceptualization of the flexibilization institute, and it also lists its forms and main doctrinal currents. Finally, we considered the limits of flexibilization, against women's labor rights, collating decisions of the Superior Labor Court. The methodology used was the bibliographical research, that through the bibliographical survey on the subject it was possible to verify information and subsidies for the development of the proposed theme. Based on the documentary and bibliographic study it is concluded that there are some flaws to be reviewed and improved for better application of the guidelines of the Quota Law.  KEYWORDS: Labor Law.

Based on data from the Tarakan City Central Statistics Agency in 2018 there were 37,894 female workers and there were 918 female workers working in the fisheries sector. Legal protection for women workers is a mandate of the constitution, therefore the State must actively participate in protecting the rights of women workers so that the nature of women is maintained. The existence of women workers in the fisheries sector is very important, because the fisheries sector is one of the leading commodities of the local government of Tarakan City.This study uses empirical normative research methods, namely research that combines the provisions of normative legal provisions with the implementation of law in the field (law in books and law in action). The purpose of this study focuses on the implementation of legal protection of women workers who work in the fisheries sector, both by companies and by the government, and examines the barriers that are barriers to the fulfillment of women's labor rights in the fisheries sector.Based on the results of research that has been done, the authors conclude that both companies and the government have fulfilled the rights of women workers in accordance with statutory provisions - particularly the workforce of women as permanent employees of the company, but not yet effective due to the low financial capability of the company, limited labor inspectors and the behavior of women workers who sometimes do not comply with norms in the field of employment.Keyword: Protection, Fisheries and Women Labor
