Descrição
Resumo:Human rights and slavery are two topics that are closely related. Addressing the effects of slavery necessarily requires an analysis from the perspective of human rights. The enslaved people in Brazil were victims for more than three centuries, in a society permeated by cruelty and insensitivity. Even after the abolition of slavery in the country, the majority of formerly enslaved people still remain trapped in social inequality, reinforced by low education and consequent professional disqualification. The objective of this research was to analyze the consequences of this low level of education in the educational field, in the job market, in the housing system, as well as in the prison system. n these four areas, the presence or absence of Human Rights can be observed and analyzed. The bibliographic methodology was used to collect data, which were treated based on a descriptive analysis, as well as diagnosis, seeking to understand the causes of the phenomenon. The data obtained indicated a continuity of social inequalities in Brazil, arising from slavery, considered official until 1888 and veiled until today. It was concluded that low education prevented the social advancement of enslaved people, before and after the abolition of slavery, in the educational field, in the job market and in the housing system. Furthermore, the low level of education of enslaved people causes the prison system to become more dense.
