The main role of the GAATW-IS is advocating for a human rights based approach to trafficking and supporting the Alliance members in their work. As such, our activities focus on gathering, analysing and disseminating information among members, coordinating collaborative projects among members, carrying out relevant research and analysis on trafficking and migration trends, and advocating regionally and internationally for the protection of the rights of trafficked and migrant persons.GAATW works in a three-year programme cycle, known as the “multi-year programme”. Deciding the strategic direction of the Alliance is done in consultation with member organizations, and other individuals, networks, and organizations that work in partnership with GAATW. This consultation happens primarily at the triennial International Members Congress (IMC), held at the end of each three-year cycle to review progress and plan for the next cycle. Strategic discussion also happens at regional or thematic consultations held during the multi-year programme.As member organizations work autonomously, collective action is often around advocacy, information sharing and discussion on issues of common concern rather than on a specific project. Priority issues and activities are identified and agreed upon, and will be coordinated by the International Secretariat.The core programmes of the GAATW-IS during 2008-2010 include:
