Introduction

Alliance Against Trafficking in Women and Children in Nepal (AATWIN) was established on June 6, 1997 to raise the strong and collective voice against the human trafficking. Before its establishment there was an extensive discussion, deliberation, study and reflection for a long time amongst the organization working against trafficking in women and preservation of human rights. After all these they came to the conclusion that the movement would be incomplete and less effective if only a single organization was involved in the struggle for crimes against humanity like trafficking and human rights violations.

From the very beginning of its establishment AATWIN has been working for the policy change in local, national to international level. Besides it has made great effort for the conceptual clarity among the member organizations and people in general.
