Dear Members and Friends,
Warm greetings from GAATW-IS and we hope that 2008 has begun well for all of you.
The past year has been a busy but rewarding year for GAATW. We held the 2nd Triennial Members Congress in November. The international and regional launch of the Collateral Damage: The Impact of Anti-Trafficking Measures of Human Rights around the World were held in September. The report has been widely disseminated among members and colleagues in various regions. As we commence our new programme, we hope that our lobby around the major recommendations of the report will be successful.
As you may know, recruitment process for several new positions in the IS has already started as some of our colleagues completed their contract at the end of 2007. We hope to have our new colleagues with us by March 2008.
