Our work centers around three key pillars: Just Transition, Employment Justice, and Labour Migration. We advocate for an inclusive shift to sustainable industries, ensuring workers are retrained, compensated, and protected. We champion employment justice by promoting fair wages, safe working conditions, and the rights of all workers, especially in transforming sectors. Additionally, we support migrant workers throughout their journey, pushing for rights-based migration policies and robust legal protections. These focus areas align with global goals for decent work, reduced inequalities, and climate action.
Areas of Focus
We are committed to addressing the key drivers of Labour market transformation, including technological advancements, globalization, demographic shifts, skills development, and environmental sustainability.
Just transition is a principle that guides ALARI’s efforts to ensure that workers are not left behind in the global shift toward sustainability. As industries adopt green practices and cleaner technologies, it is vital that workers are equipped with the resources to transition into new roles, sectors, and ways of working. ALARI advocates for policies that protect and empower workers during these transitions, pushing for retraining, upskilling, and fair compensation. Through our work, we are committed to creating an economy where environmental goals and other key drivers for a labour market transformation and labour rights go hand in hand, fostering an inclusive green future that benefits both the workers and the businesses. This commitment contributes to SDG 13 (Climate Action) and SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) by ensuring that the shift to sustainable industries is equitable and just for all.
At the heart of ALARI’s work is the belief that all workers deserve fair, safe, and equitable working conditions. Employment justice which is at the core of our advocacy, ensures that workers are treated with dignity and respect, with access to fair wages, safe working environments, and the ability to advocate for their rights without fear of retaliation. Our focus is on creating legal and policy frameworks that protect workers’ rights across all sectors, particularly those undergoing significant transformation due to climate change and technological innovation. Through strategic litigation, policy reform, and community engagement, we bridge the gap between the formal and informal labour markets, ensuring that no worker is left behind in the pursuit of sustainable economic growth. This work aligns with SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), striving for an inclusive and resilient labour market.
Labour migration is both a response to global economic pressures and a key driver of development. While it contributes significantly to economic growth, migrant workers often face exploitation, lack of legal protections, and limited access to essential services. ALARI is committed to supporting migrant workers before, during, and after their migration, ensuring their rights are upheld at all stages while advocating for a rights-based approach to labour migration. We focus on strengthening national and international legal frameworks, providing legal support to workers, and promoting policies that protect migrant workers in transit and at their destinations. Our approach ensures that migration serves as a tool for social mobility and economic progress, contributing to SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities) and SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) by reducing barriers and increasing opportunities for all workers.
