 Domestic Workers Struggles and “sexage”. The case of Brazil 
This article analyses the articulation of paid domestic work and “sexage” (Guillaumin, 1978), that is the relation of appropriation of the whole group (class ?) of women by the whole group of men, paying particular attention to how this relation of appropriation intersects with race and class oppression. The article is based on interviews, collected during a fieldwork in Brazil between 2013 and 2017, with domestic workers and union organizers, working class women mostly black and indigenous descendant. The working conditions of domestic workers and their political battles expose a central trait of “sexage” : the reduction of women to the state of a tool, a state that Guillaumin reminds us is constantly not recognized by society. Domestic workers struggles and the obstacles they faced show as well how this appropriation of women’s body is always intersected with racism and class inequality, and how this intersection produces specific forms of oppression and material differences in women’s lives.
