various international human rights treaties while Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand (Interim), B.E.
2557 (2014) only guaranteeing rights and liberties of Thai persons. In the meantime, Thailand has depended

on migrant workers, especially from neighboring countries and in 2016, several policies and measures
protecting and promoting rights of and with solutions for migrant workers, e.g. the promulgation of Royal
Decree on Taking of Migrant Workers for Domestic Employers, B.E. 2559 (2016); the establishment of
academic cooperation for solving of unacceptable or indecent work in fishing industries and continuing
activities of fishing industries; and the management for policy with nationality proof or registration of

migrant workers. These cause the declining number with statistic of illegal entries of migrant workers
while there are problems with human rights impacts towards migrant workers and their dependent, as:
• The process for nationality proof of migrant workers is found with difficulties for accessibility

and high expenses;
• The work conditions with safety, accessibility and exercise of rights within social security
healthcare security schemes, including the prohibition for forming and being members of trade union.

The NHRCT addresses that problems of migrant workers are still unsolved or solved but with

very few concrete outputs, therefore the Government shall consider to take them into account.

GROUPS OF WOMEN:

The Government has made progressive development with law reforms in accordance with the
International Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), including to inscribe
gender equality within provisions of Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand, B.E. …. (one with referendum on
2
7 August 2016) . And in 2016, Thailand is ranked in 71 country with the most reduction of gender disparities
th
st
from 144 countries worldwide which was lower than its 40 rank in 2006. A number of vital factors are
th
criticized with cause of the decline as: educational achievement and opportunities and participation on
economy and political powers. On the dimension of health and livelihood, Thailand is ranked as 1 country
st
from 144 countries worldwide. And for the violence against women, there are 18,919 women facing

violence and approaching to One Stop Crisis Center (OSCC) in 18,919 cases (increasing from 2015 with
13,265). The incidents of domestic violence are tentatively increased with battered women’s syndrome,
as: in 2009, there were 175 killed in family, in 2010, 186 killed in family and in 2013, 206 killed in family
and most of killers were husbands while there are increasing numbers of divorcing cases within the past
decade, as increase to be 33 percent (during 2006-2016).

The rights situation of women would somehow link to stereotyping with discrimination or prej-
udice on sex and gender disparity, therefore the Government shall spend its endeavors in all aspects to

ensuring the protection and acts without discrimination with achievement of equality as per its pledges
and acceptances given and with affirmative actions for gender equality. The SDGs, particularly those in
line with women’s rights, shall be used to standardize and inspect for policy development.
