Under the patronage of the esteemed President of Al-Mustaqbal University and under the supervision of the Dean of the College of Law, Professor Dr. Ammar Abbas Al-Husseini, the College of Law organized a panel discussion titled "The Right to Decent Work: Challenges of Informal Employment in Achieving Social Justice", presented by Dr. Ali Jasem Al-Saadi.<br /><br />The discussion focused on the right to decent work as one of the fundamental pillars for achieving social justice, ensuring a safe work environment, fair wages, social protection, and opportunities for professional development. However, informal employment, which includes seasonal workers, day laborers, and temporary contract workers, faces significant challenges, such as job instability, low wages, and lack of social and health insurance. These conditions exacerbate the social and economic gap, making the achievement of social justice a difficult goal to reach. Therefore, addressing these challenges requires legislative reforms and policies that support informal workers and provide them with equal rights in the labor market.<br /><br />The seminar was attended by a number of professors and students from the College of Law, and in-depth discussions were held by the attendees, enriching various aspects of the seminar. This seminar falls under Goal 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) of the Sustainable Development Goals. The seminar was managed by M.M. Haneen Alaa, the Human Rights Unit Coordinator at the College of Law.<br /><br />Al-Mustaqbal University: The Top University in Iraq.
