In 2020, we had started a research project in partnership with 30 NGOs in 18 countries in Southeast and South Asia, Europe, Latin America and North America to document migrant and trafficked women’s experiences with social and economic inclusion in destination countries as well as upon return to the origin country.
In 2021, the partners from South Asia, Latin America, and North America completed the data collection and analysis process and began preparing their research reports and sharing the findings with policymakers, other NGOs, and the public. The partners in Southeast Asia and Europe were at different stages of the data collection process.
The GAATW-IS provided regular support to all the partners with data analysis and contextualisation of the findings and organised international advocacy events.
