In 1997, GAATW Canada hosted the North American Regional Consultative Forum on Trafficking in Women, the first consultation of its kind held in Canada.
The forum was designed to:
- initiate dialogue on trafficking and migration,
- facilitate an exchange of information and strategies,
- formulate and ratify a plan of action,
- and to expand the international network of organization and individuals committee to promoting the human rights of trafficked and migrant women.
The forum brought together activists from service-based and advocacy organizations in Canada, the United States, Nepal, the Philippines, Thailand, the Netherlands, France, Puerto Rico, and the Czech Republic, as well as a number of scholars and policymakers.
