3) Social policy
○
The Constitution prohibits the acts of discrimination on any
○
○
grounds. It also provides measures to protect the rights of
○
○
○
vulnerable groups such as older persons, children, people with
○
○
○
disabilities, to promote gender equality and to prevent domestic
○
○
violence. Moreover, the Constitution lays down the principles of
○
○
○
public policy concerning land reforms, the protection of workers,
○
○
○
the freedom of assembly, which result in certain improvement in
○
○
○
each respective area.
○
○
○
Unfortunately, human rights violations are still rampant in
○
○
○
several ways such as human trafficking. Thailand is a country
○
○
○
of origin, transit and destination of transnational trafficking
○
○
○
in persons, especially women and children who are then
○
○
suffered from abuses and exploitation for sexual trade and cheap
○
○
○
labour.
