The Solidarity Center works with a range of Sri Lankan trade unions and community organizations, assisting workers in the garment, tea and informal sectors to secure a collective voice through unions and improve wages, workplace safety and health, and other fundamental rights on the job, as well as advocate for greater worker voice in the democratic process and society more broadly.

Together with local partners, Solidarity Center conducts training around addressing and preventing sexual harassment and other forms of gender-based violence at work. And, as hundreds of thousands of Sri Lankans are being driven from their homes by the economic crisis and lack of decent work, seeking opportunities overseas, the Solidarity Center, unions and migrant rights advocates foster coalition building and champion legislative measures designed to inform and protect workers who leave the country for jobs.
