The intersection of migration, domestic violence, and health
is a little explored topic in Brazil. The objective of this article is to discuss domestic violence against Bolivian migrant women that reside in home-based sweatshops in São Paulo. This text stems from observations and testimonies collected during ethnographic research with Bolivian migrant women that
work in or have worked in sweatshops in the greater São Paulo area. The study reveals the necessity for initiatives to combat domestic violence in sweatshops through case studies and theoretical analysis of sweatshops as specific places as well as private, public, and transnational spaces. The authors reveal the necessity for the promotion of initiatives in the health sector to incorporate sweatshop workers and the need to train healthcare professionals that work with this population to recognize signs of violence to ensure the security and health of those facing domestic violence.
