... plan to eradicate violence against women. 

 

I don't object that - but 

 

What about violence against men?

 

They should start with the soap operas on tv at all times for kids to see...lots of violence there...instead of blurring out cigarettes,alcohol,knifes and guns when they get next to the victim !

So no more rape every four hours in this country?

That is something to hope for.... But I think a lot of Thai guys will have to be used to set examples by locking them up..............

It is the women in Thailand that need to be finally considered......... we never hear much about violence upon men (maybe gangs of Thai men upon a lone security guard or farang or university student)........

But Thai women get about the same consideration in Thailand as 'Thai Dogs'....... Please help these Thai women who have been put down like muslim women and dogs for too long...........

I read a lot about violence in Thailand. Against women and men - it seems to be a violent country in general.

So violence against whomever  should be eradicated.
