Book: Women on the Move and the Movements they Build
We are excited to introduce our new publication, Women on the Move and the Movements they Build, an anthology that grew out of Voice and Participation: A Learning Journey, a multi-country initiative that brought together GAATW members and partners to reflect on how they centre the voices of migrant and trafficked women, and what role lived experience expertise plays in their decision-making.
This anthology charts the organisational journeys of eight partner and member organisations across East and Southeast Asia and Europe, tracing their evolution from founding moments, some rooted in individual acts of resistance, others in collective crisis response, into sustained movements for migrant and workers' rights. Each chapter recounts a distinct national context and history, from decades-long legal battles to community-built shelters that grew into unions, showing how organisations shaped by the voices of those they work with continue to adapt, grow, and push for justice. We believe these stories offer valuable insight and inspiration to the wider anti-trafficking and migrant rights community.

Reframing Narratives: Anti-trafficking from the ground up (Issue 2)
We are excited to introduce our new publication, Reframing Narratives: Anti-trafficking from the ground up, an annual publication by GAATW members. The series offers a unique GAATW perspective on emerging anti-trafficking issues, focussing on the experiences and efforts of members and allies rather than ranking responses or estimating case numbers. It aims to foster dialogue across global movements, connecting those in fields such as migration, women’s rights, labour organising, climate change, corporate accountability, and conflict with anti-trafficking work.
This second issue, Lived Experience Expertise, focuses on a subject central to GAATW’s work since its founding in 1994. This publication is intended to support the practice of GAATW members and others involved in anti-trafficking work, by sharing personal journeys of survivor leadership, discussing the complexities of drawing on lived experience expertise and providing concrete strategies for promoting lived experience expertise. As the essays in this publication show, the practice of actively listening to survivors of trafficking and other abuses continues to be at the core of the work of our members. We believe the insights shared in this publication will be of great use to the wider anti-trafficking and human rights community.
