Universitas Negeri Semarang (UNNES) strengthens its commitment to decent work, human rights, and responsible institutional governance by promoting the prevention of forced labour, modern slavery, human trafficking, and child labour.
Building on Rector’s Circular Letter No. B/28484/UN37/HK.09.00/2024 concerning the prevention and awareness of human trafficking, UNNES seeks to strengthen institutional awareness and ensure that the protection of human dignity is reflected in its employment practices and institutional activities.
The university’s commitment is intended to support a safe, fair, and responsible working environment. This includes promoting voluntary employment, preventing exploitation and coercion, rejecting human trafficking and modern slavery, and preventing the employment of children in violation of applicable laws.
Strengthening responsible employment practices
UNNES aims to ensure that its employment and institutional procedures uphold applicable labour standards and human rights principles. The university should also communicate these expectations to relevant service providers, contractors, and institutional partners, where applicable, to reduce the risk of labour exploitation throughout its operations and procurement activities.
Preventive measures may include awareness-raising, appropriate employment documentation, monitoring of relevant working arrangements, and accessible reporting channels for suspected violations. Reports should be handled through established institutional procedures and in accordance with applicable regulations.
Institutional oversight and continuous improvement
UNNES encourages members of its academic and professional community to remain vigilant and report suspected cases of human trafficking or labour exploitation through the university’s designated channels. The university will strengthen coordination and review relevant policies and implementation mechanisms to ensure that its commitment remains aligned with applicable laws and responsible employment practices.
Through this commitment, UNNES supports Sustainable Development Goal 8, particularly the promotion of decent work and the protection of fundamental labour rights.
