We discussed on cross-sectoral collaborations and harnessing the power of data to address the current challenges of human trafficking, encourage a coordinated action and scale up solutions for maximizing results on the ground encouraging an even more coordinated action and scaling up of solutions.
The three-day event was kicked off on the eve of the World Day Against Trafficking in Persons with the launching of our Impact Report: A decade of fearless glow with our strategic partners from Quantium, International Justice Mission, Kin Nepal, Justice Ventures, Aide et Action International and Implementing Partners from across the country.

Convening under the theme, Strengthening Partnerships and Accelerating Technology to combat human trafficking, the 4th Asian Anti-Trafficking Forum of My Choices Foundation will bring together grassroots level organisations, government officials, women’s rights activists, counsellors, policymakers to share knowledge, combine strengths and amplify collective efforts to prevent and combat human trafficking.
In her keynote address, Elca Grobler, Founder of My Choices Foundation stated, “Trafficking is a swirling vortex; the vortex wields a soft pull which manifests into a strong force and innocent families and children get sucked into it. It is dangerous and we all know it” and she emphasized “the time for going slow, being complacent and staying quiet is no longer an option and our work is a proof to that. The silence on abuse against women and children has been broken with our strong partnerships and our joint force is building a stronger and everlasting safety net for all our girls.”
Entering the 11th year, My Choices Foundation has always been known for its bold and pioneering approach to fighting human trafficking, particularly women and child trafficking for the purpose of labour and sexual exploitation. Elca Grobler and our strategic partners released a comprehensive ten-year impact report ‘A decade of fearless glow’. “We never lost sight of our mission. Our 10-year impact report is more than a summary of the action. It is solid proof that when a group of committed and passionate people come together, we can make a difference. We believed that 10 years ago and we will continue to believe that for many decades to come”, Elca commented.
My Choices Foundation is at the forefront of change and progress, moving the fight forward against trafficking in the spirit of unity and collaboration.
