O modelo de produção fast fashion: o trabalho análogo à escravidão na cadeia de produção da indústria da moda

Abstract

The present work aimed to analyze the current configuration of contemporary slave labor in the Fast Fashion industry, a model of production that is cheap and of low quality. Starting from the current social context, it sought to expose the intricacies that sustain the industry of rampant consumerism, which has enabled the growth of this type of business, based on Bauman's theory of Consumer Society. From this foundation, an examination of the overexploitation of contemporary labor was initiated, including its forms and differentiation from colonial slavery, as well as the circumstances that lead textile workers in the fashion industry to find themselves in this situation. Furthermore, it was shown how contemporary slavery supports the Fast Fashion business model, enabling high profits for brands and how major names such as Zara and Riachuelo have dealt with their convictions. Finally, the state measures taken to combat the crime were highlighted, along with an analysis of the gaps in these measures, presenting future projections regarding the confrontation of this challenge
