The College of Administration and Economics Holds a Scientific Seminar Titled “Management and Economic Justice in Confronting Modern Slavery”

As part of its ongoing scientific activities aimed at linking administrative and economic concepts with contemporary humanitarian challenges, the Student Activities Unit at the College of Administration and Economics, University of Karbala, organized an interactive scientific seminar titled: “Management and Economic Justice in Confronting Modern Slavery.”

The seminar was held in the halls of the Department of Economics, where it highlighted the ethical, legal, and economic dimensions of “modern slavery”—including forced labor exploitation, human trafficking, and poor human resource management—and explored how sound management and economic justice can help address and reduce such phenomena.

The seminar was presented by:

  • Assist. Prof. Dr. Harith Raheem Atiyah
  • Asst. Lect. Fatima Hussein Saleh

Through their research papers, the speakers discussed how modern administrative systems can contribute to protecting individual rights and creating a fair work environment that ensures human dignity, بعيدًا عن exploitative practices imposed by unethical labor systems.

The seminar featured in-depth interactive discussions covering several key themes, including:

  • Concept of Modern Slavery: Reviewing forms of economic and labor exploitation in both international and local work environments.
  • Role of Management in Promoting Justice: How strategic management and organizational practices can help reduce workforce exploitation.
  • Economic Justice as a Social Pillar: Analyzing how income and opportunity distribution can reduce gaps that expose individuals to forced labor practices.
  • Legislative Frameworks: The role of economic and social laws in protecting workers’ rights within institutions.

The seminar was attended by a number of researchers and students, who enriched the discussions with their contributions linking economic theories to social realities, emphasizing the importance of activating the role of academic institutions in proposing scientific solutions to these global challenges.

This seminar comes as part of the college’s commitment to deepening humanitarian awareness among its students and staff, affirming that economics and management are not merely about numbers, but tools for building a society based on justice, integrity, and the protection of rights.
