Contexto:
"The ***hardest hit segment*** of the population is Afro-Brazilians. Despite comprising nearly 50% of the population, Afro-Brazilians represent only 5% of elected officials and 2% of the public university students . The majority of Afro-Brazilian women work in the informal sector of the economy, with the most common job being that of housemaid - a profession that has special exceptions in the Brazilian labor code allowing longer work weeks and less benefits and is notorious for child labor and sexual harassment."
