New members are always welcome in the Alliance. If you are a non-governmental organisation committed to promoting a human rights based approach to trafficking and/or other related issues such as migration, labour rights, or women's rights, GAATW's membership is open for you.
Adherence to GAATW's Basic Principles is the first criteria for the membership. However, apart from the information which the organisation provides and the advice we receive from our members and friends in the same country or region, GAATW-IS does not have any other mean to verify the position/politics of the organisation. Moreover, many member organisations work on issues that go well beyond the Secretariat's area of expertise. As such, the statement from a member does not automatically carry endorsement of the Secretariat. However, any advocacy statement released by GAATW through the IS undergoes a process of consultation with members and allies.
If you would like to become a member of GAATW, please send an email to
