Asia Region Anti-Trafficking Conference

The annual Asia Region Anti-Trafficking Conference is a Community Initiative of the Global Learning Community, and has grown to a gathering with more than 700 attendees. The ARAT Planning Committee consists of 8-10 GLC members from Asia, including Dark Bali. 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
