CATWA stands for the Coalition Against Trafficking in Women and Girls, a prominent international organization dedicated to combating human trafficking, sexual exploitation, and gender-based violence. Founded on principles of human rights, gender equality, and social justice, CATWA works tirelessly to raise awareness, advocate for policy reform, and provide support to survivors of trafficking and exploitation. Through its network of activists, researchers, and partner organizations, CATWA engages in research, advocacy, and public education campaigns aimed at addressing the root causes of trafficking and exploitation, including poverty, gender inequality, and systemic discrimination. By amplifying the voices of survivors, mobilizing public support, and holding governments and institutions accountable for their obligations to prevent and respond to trafficking, CATWA plays a pivotal role in shaping policies and practices that uphold the dignity, rights, and well-being of all individuals, particularly women and girls, who are disproportionately affected by these egregious violations. Moreover, CATWA provides vital support services, including shelter, counseling, legal assistance, and economic empowerment programs, to survivors seeking to rebuild their lives and reclaim their agency in the aftermath of exploitation. Through its holistic approach to combating trafficking and exploitation, CATWA embodies the resilience, solidarity, and determination of the global movement to end human trafficking and create a world where all individuals can live free from violence, coercion, and exploitation.
