Brazil garment worker labor policy proposal

Overview

In September 2026, a legislative proposal was introduced in the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies to establish a National Policy for the Valorization, Qualification, Formalization, and Productive Protection of Seamstresses, Tailors, and Garment Workers.

Authored by Deputy Marcos Tavares, Bill 2987/26 seeks to combat informality, low wages, and insufficient social security protection within the textile sector. The bill aims to prioritize vulnerable demographics, such as women, single mothers, Black individuals, people with disabilities, the elderly, and migrants. Proposed measures include providing dedicated credit lines through federal public banks to support micro-entrepreneurs and cooperatives with technology and raw materials, as well as establishing guidelines for public procurement of uniforms to encourage participation from small businesses.
