Dear friends,
Warm greetings from Bangkok!
This year marks GAATW's 25th Anniversary! As our International Coordinator shared in her end of year message, we spent some time last year in conversations with our members and partners, reflecting on the lessons learnt over the past quarter of a century , and deliberating on the future priorities of our Alliance.
Now it's time to put these inspiring conversations into action, as we mark our anniversary year . In 2019 will strengthen the Alliance through inter-regional and cross-sectoral knowledge- sharing and learning by holding two global consultations: on Prevention of Trafficking and Unsafe Migration in April, and a knowledge-sharing forum on Women, Work and Migration in the last quarter of the year . Given the limited funding for this type of convening, we will also organise a number of webinars on topics identified by the GAATW Secretariat and members, such as feminism, movement building, trafficking in conflict, labour , sex work, as well as inter-regional migration. Where possible and needed, we will organise learning trips for members and partners in origin and destination countries.
