Facilitated by SARI/Equity, the Forums are regional platforms of like-minded individuals from all walks of life that discuss common concerns in the region and initiate policy change through action at the regional and national levels. They come from civil society, academia, and are experts or government representatives. Through their extended "arms" - National Core Groups in four SARI/Equity countries (Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Sri Lanka) - they take forward their initiatives.

The Regional Action Forums address three main areas:

•	Improving the Implementation of Laws Protecting Women and Children
•	Strengthening the Care of Survivors/Victims of Trafficking and Other Forms of Violence
•	Fostering Safe Migration
