Dear friends,
Warm greetings from GAATW International Secretariat!
As we step into 2024, the GAATW International Secretariat extends warm wishes for a year filled with progress, collaboration, and meaningful impact. Reflecting on the year gone by, we witnessed the resilience and courage of communities, most particularly migrant workers, amidst the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, economic uncertainties, and armed conflicts. This issue covers our activities from October till December 2023.
In 2024, our focus remains on advocating for the rights and welfare of women workers, migrants, and trafficked persons. We remain committed to furthering our research and advocacy initiatives, strengthening our collaborations, and amplifying the voices that need to be heard. The past year's events, consultations, and workshops across various regions have reinforced the power of collective action and shared learning. As we embark on this new year, we will build on these foundations with renewed strength and purpose.
Looking forward to the months ahead, we are thrilled to announce our upcoming International Members Congress in October, marking a significant milestone – the 30th anniversary of the Alliance. This congress will celebrate our collective achievements, reflect on our journey, and strategise for the future. More details on the event and how you can participate will be shared in the coming months.
