Homenet Southeast Asia succeeded in being accredited by the WTO as an NGO focusing on trade issues. This entitled the network to send three representatives to the WTO Ministerial Conference in Hongkong (13-18 January 2005): the Regional Coordinator, one from PATAMABA (Olive Parilla) because if its long-term engagement in fair trade advocacy through its Oxfam Project, and one from Homenet Thailand (Orapin Wimolpusit), which has been concerned with fair trade since the beginning of the UNIFEM project in 2001.
