Organization Description:

The Solidarity Center is an independent, nonprofit organization founded in 1997 and allied with the AFL-CIO, dedicated to ensuring that hard work is rewarded, workplaces are safe, and people have a say in decisions that affect their lives. Operating in more than 60 countries, it partners with unions, worker associations, and NGOs to combat forced labor, human trafficking, and migrant-worker exploitation; promote freedom of association and collective bargaining; and support women workers, occupational safety, and economic justice.

Role in Indian Shrimp Aquaculture: The Solidarity Center has a long-standing presence in South Asia, including India, supporting trade unions and worker associations across sectors. In the Indian shrimp context, it can work with national and state unions on organizing processing-plant workers, migrant peeling-shed women, and hatchery staff; build capacity on freedom of association; and support grievance mechanisms and advocacy.
