Job placement
Labour rights are human rights, and the ability to exercise these rights in the workplace is essential for workers to enjoy a wide range of other rights, whether economic, social, cultural, political or otherwise.
This paragraph, taken from the UN Report of 20 October 2012 on labour rights, highlights the elements that characterise the right to work: On the one hand, it is a human right included in 1948 as a key element of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and, on the other, it constitutes the basis for the realisation of many other rights. According to the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, work has 3 dimensions: non-discrimination, physical accessibility and access to information, all of which are included both in the SDGs and, in one way or another, in the list of fundamental human rights.
LABOR INSERTION AS A RIGHT
This right applies to all citizens, regardless of their status or abilities.
For this reason, since its inception, Fundación por la Justicia has sought to launch various employment and self-employment projects aimed at strengthening its role as guarantor of the rights of all citizens with respect to access to work.
At a time when slogans such as "leave no one behind" resonate, it is essential to promote the employability of those groups that have greater difficulty entering the labour market, a circumstance that we could summarise in the following projects.
