The Coalition Against Trafficking in Women-International (CATW) is a non-governmental organization that promotes
women’s human rights by working internationally to combat sexual exploitation in all its forms. Founded in 1988, CATW
was the first international non-governmental organization to focus on human trafficking, especially sex trafficking of women
and girls. CATW obtained Category II Consultative Status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council in 1989.
