domestic violence against children; and to establish community-level mechanisms for monitoring
child abuse, such as the use of violence against children, etc., by enlisting local administrative
organizations’ support in accordance with Section 250 (1) of the Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand

B.E. 2560 (2017), and engaging potential non-governmental organizations and the private sector to
support the mission.

Regarding the rights of the elderly, the government should give priority to the preparation for informal
workers to enter old age by, in particular, ensuring that such labour groups will have sufficient income
for living according to an appropriate standard of living, and the development of medical personnel to

have better knowledge about diseases and illnesses of the elderly. There should be measures to prevent
the problem of the elderly being abandoned or abused by engaging local administrative organizations.
As for the rights of persons with disabilities, there should be measures to push forward the work on

the rights of persons with disabilities as proposed by the National Assembly of Networks of Persons
with Disabilities, including improving the service centers for persons with disabilities, promoting
the positive attitude of persons with disabilities towards themselves as well as that of families and
society towards persons with disabilities, with the participation of persons with disabilities in the process.

In addition, the government should hasten to solve the education problems of persons with disabilities
by providing education that suits the needs of different category of persons with disabilities, developing
teachers and supporting adequate and thorough educational equipment and facilities, and promoting

the employment of persons with disabilities. In addition, public transportation service providers should
be required to provide facilities and equipment for persons with disabilities in all future projects.

For issues relating to women’s rights, there should be measures to solve domestic violence against
women at the root cause and capacity development of personnel to acquire the knowledge and skills
necessary to perform duties in accordance with the Promotion of Family Development and Protection

Act B.E. 2562. Any measure to strengthen the family institution should not put women in danger or at
risk of repeated violence. There should be protection of women exploited in prostitution and provision
of assistance to women in prostitution to have alternatives of occupation. There should be education
and awareness raising program to reduce prejudice that leads to sexual discrimination.

For those with legal status and rights problems, clarification should be made on the rights in social
welfare for migrant workers of 3 nationalities, particularly the right to health care services. The nationality
granting process should be expedited so that the statelessness can be eliminated by 2024 as has been
announced by the government. In the process, there should be measures in place to ensure that
every group of stateless persons, including stateless students whose identification number begins with

the letter G, will at least have access to basic healthcare services. At the same time, relevant agencies
should be prepared to implement the Prime Minister Office’s Regulation on the screening of aliens
who are in the Kingdom and cannot return home, 2019.
