Asia Region Anti-Trafficking Conference

ARAT is a Community Initiative of the Global Learning Community. The ARAT Planning Committee for 2024 is a joint partnership of Chab Dai, The Freedom Story, Dark Bali, The Whispering Willow, and Ashray and is held each July. The planning committee carefully selects speakers and sessions based on our themes:

1) Organizational Development & Capacity Building – Contributing to the ongoing development of individuals and organizations in attendance and providing them with practical tools, resources, and knowledge for professional growth

2) Current Trends & Research in the Region – Equipping conference attendees with up-to-date research from our sector and information about the developing trafficking trends within the region

3) Survivor Inclusion – Prioritizing the role of survivors of trafficking in the movement and ensuring that they retain a prominent place as contributors both on stage and behind the scenes

4) Collaboration & Networking – Cultivating a space where relationships can be forged and strengthened for the benefit of the movement and the people in it
