From 3 to 6 November 2009 women and men from around the Anglican Communion gathered in Hong Kong for a four-day consultation on the human trafficking of children, with a particular focus on the girl child in Asia. The consultation was organised by the Office of the Anglican United Nations Observer and was supported by a grant from the Archbishop of Canterbury, with accommodation, board, and ground transportation generously provided by the Primate of Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui, Archbishop Paul Kwong.

Mrs Betty Chan of Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui (the Anglican Province of Hong Kong) was one of the team who supported Archbishop Paul Kwong in welcoming participants. Her account of the consultation, in Cantonese, is here

Documents from the consultation, including country reports, theological reflections, examples of churches' best practice and presentations by experts from the United Nations and ECPAT (End Child Prostitution, Child Pornography and the Trafficking of Children for Sexual Purposes) are available here:
