Gathered in the mountains of Kathmandu, Nepal last October 22 – 23, APMM and its “You Are Not Alone” project partners came together to reflect on the lessons and challenges in implementing the project, and recommit to serve migrant communities across different countries. With eight partner organizations present from across the Asia Pacific, the meeting was grounded in honest conversations about the challenges of sustaining migrant engagement, the realities of forced migration in Nepal, and the collective determination to keep amplifying the voices of those experiencing exploitation abroad and at home.

The gathering also featured a half-day forum on the situation of labor migration in and out of Nepal, where advocates from WOREC Nepal, Tarangini Foundation, and LWF Nepal surfaced the realities of forced migration, trafficking, and gendered discrimination faced by Nepali migrants – particularly women. On the last day of the meeting, the Sama-Sama, Sangha-Sangha website was also launched and is now ready for public access at samasangha.com.
