Vol. 49 No. 145 abr-jun (2025): Saúde em Debate

Written by members of the Health-Work-Law Center of the Brazilian Center for Health Studies (Cebes), the editorial in this issue of ‘Saúde em Debate’ draws attention to the 5th National Conference on Worker’s Health, which will be held in August 2025. “Its central theme is to consider health at work as a Human Right. It is expected to be a turning point between what has been done so far and what can be done afterward. [...] The guarantee of this right spans popular participation in the form of the working class taking the lead. Since it is the working class that directly suffers the effects of exploitation and oppression and, therefore, has their human rights violated, the leadership of this debate/struggle cannot be delegated to any other party.”
