The Asia Region Anti-Trafficking conference is a project of the Global Learning Community (GLC). The GLC is a cooperative of over 250 people from 49 countries that are learning together to grow and serve the anti-trafficking and modern slavery response around the world. As such, a team of GLC members design and implement the ARAT conference every year based on input from the wider GLC community.

“A regional network to counter a regional network”

Dark Bali, The Freedom Story, Dark Bali, Ashray, Eleison Foundatio, The Whispering Willow, and The Global Learning Community believe that businesses, unions, government, academia and NGOs really need to work together, because only together can we end this crime and change the lives of so many powerless people. It’s a shared responsibility and it takes multi-sector collaboration.

The Asia Region Anti-Trafficking Conference is the natural progression of the work done by everyone involved. Collaboration is a key part of how we work and we aim to support and facilitate partnerships during this time. Starting in 2017, this conference has become an important event in the region. It is our aim to develop multi-sector learning and partnerships to improve our responses to the issues of human trafficking and slavery in Asia. We aim to be updated on the trends and changes in the last 3-5 years in the region and its impact for the future to establish the realities of our context. We aim to learn from each other about the best practices in what and how we best work in our contexts. Finally, we aim to identify key industries and contexts for collaborative action

Thank you for your interest in our conference,
