Gender-based violence and inequality remain major issues in Thailand, report finds
Published
A recent report from UN Women states that gender-based violence and gender inequality remain significant challenges in Thailand. The report is part of a study on the status of women and men in the Asia and Pacific region and was published on Tuesday, 10 November 2569.
The report indicates that although Thailand has made progress in many areas, women still face problems of domestic and everyday violence. This issue affects women's health, safety, and employment opportunities. In addition, gender gaps in income and access to senior positions still persist.
The report also notes that women in rural areas and low-income groups may be affected more than others, as they have more difficulty accessing legal services and social assistance. Experts believe that detailed data collection and the development of comprehensive policies will help reduce these gaps.
In conclusion, the report emphasises that addressing gender-based violence and inequality requires cooperation from the public sector, the private sector, and civil society, so that all women and men in Thailand have equal opportunities and safety.
