The Big Question: Which Country Will Emerge as the Leading
Power?
Our China Program Director, Gisa Dang, gave her opinion about this topic in the Winter issue of World Policy Journal and soon it will be your turn! World Policy Journal has begun to plan a twitter chat regarding this big question. Scheduling is still in the works, but we will update you on the details very soon.
We are very proud that our organization has been receiving international press coverage citing our report:
“Custody and Education”: Arbitrary Detention for Female Sex Workers in China (2013).
In addition to The New York Times article, Asia Catalyst and the C&E report, has been mentioned on Salon.com, The Guardian, AFP, and many other accredited news outlets. These articles are allowing Asia Catalyst the opportunity to broadcast the mistreatment of those in the Sex industry to readers around the world!
Just over one month has passed since Asia Catalyst staff and a delegation of four Chinese health rights advocates participated in the International Congress on AIDS in Asia and the Pacific (ICAAP). Before the group could join the 3,800 participants from 74 countries in Bangkok, three months of intensive preparation, and nearly a year of planning was necessary.
Asia Catalyst held an open call for delegates wishing to receive support, and provided successful applicants with assistance preparing conference materials, applying for scholarships, and arranging travel. More importantly, Asia Catalyst provided translation, helped coordinate joint advocacy action, and provided assistance setting up meetings.
