Another important purpose of AAGW is to provide leadership opportunities for trafficking victims to take a role in supervising the activities of the organization. The president and other leaders of the group are victims themselves and have been elected by other victims. The members decide on the activities the organization will sponsor and how funds will be used. They decide, for example, which handicrafts to make, what materials they need, and how to budget their money. Such a process is educational and provides them with important financial, interpersonal, and decision-making skills.
