Asian Anti-Trafficking Collaborative is comprised of three member agencies: Asian Pacific Islander Legal Outreach, Asian Women’s Shelter, and Narika. Since 2000, AATC continues to engage in legislative and policy advocacy on behalf of trafficking survivors, as well as provide comprehensive and holistic direct legal and social services to men, women, transgendered, and children survivors of human trafficking. We serve survivors from over 22 countries in Asia, Mexico, Central and South America, Africa, and Europe who have been trafficked throughout the United States.
Who We Are
December 14, 2011
The Asian Anti-Trafficking Collaborative (AATC) is a coalition of three community-based, anti-violence and social justice organizations that have collaborated with each other since the 1980s on domestic violence and human trafficking. The member organizations are Asian Pacific Islander Legal Outreach (APILO), Asian Women’s Shelter (AWS), and Narika. Together we provide culturally and linguistically appropriate, comprehensive legal and social services to victims of human trafficking, regardless of gender, national origin, race, or ethnicity.
The goal of AATC is to help trafficked men, women, and children take steps that will make them survivors of trafficking and not victims of trafficking. Trafficked people want and deserve a fighting chance for a life that can be about the pursuit of happiness and not about mere survival. To advance this goal, the members of AATC work with each client to identify and address their most emergent needs. AATC works to stabilize each client’s immigration status, help reunite them with family members in the United States, assist them with navigating the social service system and benefits, and help each individual gain the skills and knowledge that is crucial to enabling a self-sufficient, healthy, and stable life.
AATC has served over 350 survivors of human trafficking and continue to advocate and represent trafficked men, women, and children. We spearheaded the passage of the first comprehensive state anti-trafficking law in the nation, established local and national protocols to advance and protect victims’ rights. AATC has been recognized as one of the top three model programs in the United States.
Human trafficking is a reality in our own backyards and AATC is committed to providing comprehensive services to trafficked people.
