The Arab Academy for Science, Technology, and Maritime Transport (AASTMT) has actively participated in the Greenland project, a significant initiative aimed at fostering sustainable development and economic growth in the Mediterranean region. This project aligns closely with Sustainable Development Goal 8 (SDG 8), which focuses on promoting sustained, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment, and decent work for all. AASTMT's involvement in the Greenland project underscores its commitment to advancing this SDG by contributing to the creation of employment opportunities that are characterized by fair labor practices and ethical employment standards.
Part of AASTMT's role in the Greenland project involves reinforcing its policy commitment against forced labor, modern slavery, human trafficking, and child labor. AASTMT recognizes the crucial role it plays in ensuring that the development activities it engages in do not inadvertently perpetuate exploitative labor practices. By actively working towards these goals in collaboration with other project partners, AASTMT helps promote the principles of decent work and social justice, as outlined in SDG 8, thereby contributing to the broader mission of eradicating forced labor, modern slavery, human trafficking, and child labor within the Mediterranean region. Through this commitment, AASTMT demonstrates its dedication to creating a more equitable and sustainable future for all.

In the past, AASTMT demonstrated a strong commitment to both promoting gender equity in the MENA region and combating child labor, forced labor, modern slavery, and human trafficking. Through its initiative titled "Gender Equity in the MENA Region," AASTMT took a leading role in addressing these pressing issues while aligning with the principles of Sustainable Development Goal 8 (SDG 8). AASTMT recognized that safeguarding the rights and safety of women in the urban workforce required not only gender-friendly cities but also a comprehensive commitment to eradicate exploitative labor practices.
Under the banner of "Gender Equity in the MENA Region," the initiative's authors not only advocated for gender equity but also actively worked towards eradicating child labor, forced labor, and human trafficking. Their discussions went beyond the parameters of the United Nations' Gender Inequality Index (GII) to encompass diverse subjects and domains related to women's rights and labor practices. They explored essential questions such as whether women's rights were upheld in the design of new cities, whether women were protected from exploitation in the labor market, and whether measures were in place to combat child labor and human trafficking. This comprehensive approach, involving stakeholders from various backgrounds, made a significant contribution to advancing inclusive urban development and fulfilling AASTMT's commitment to ethical labor practices and SDG 8 objectives.
