This learning brief is part of GAATW's Learning Circle series, peer-learning spaces where our members come together to share their practices, learn from one another and reflect on common challenges in their work. It brings together the reflections and discussions from our Fourth Learning Circle, where members explored how community-led storytelling, participatory research and other ways of producing knowledge can strengthen advocacy and influence from the ground up.

For this Learning Circle, we invited a representative from Pourakhi Nepal to share the organisation's long experience using community media to reach women migrant workers and their families. She spoke about their radio programme, which shared information on migration procedures, laws and policies alongside migrant workers' lived experiences, and which later led listeners to form community radio clubs.

Members also shared their experiences of participatory research carried out both individually and collectively with other organisations. They highlighted how research objectives can be built together with communities, how psychosocial accompaniment can support meaningful participation, and how the information produced can first serve the communities themselves while also informing advocacy and institutional responses.

The brief closes with an invitation to keep thinking together, and that invitation is open to you. Whether you are a GAATW member, a partner, an ally or a friend, we invite you to reflect on the questions it raises and how they connect to your own work.
