snoop1130 Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 BANGKOK (NNT) - Thailand is moving forward with plans to promote gender equality and assist women in reaching their full leadership potential, recognizing that women play a crucial role in economic and social development. During the opening ceremony of the three-day Global Summit of Women (GSW) 2022 in Bangkok this week, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha pledged to prioritize the matter. GSW is promoted as a major economic forum for women leaders on a global scale. There were approximately 650 delegates from 52 countries in attendance. During his speech, Gen Prayut stated that the event provides Thailand with an excellent opportunity to learn from women leaders from around the world and supports efforts to foster an environment in which women can realize their full potential. According to the prime minister, budgets have been allocated to promote careers, knowledge development, and the identification of markets for women’s products. The prime minister also mentioned the administration’s efforts to promote the role of women, particularly those living in the deep South, as economic drivers and peacemakers in their communities. In conclusion, Gen Prayut stated that the government is also considering a number of projects to promote the empowerment of women in the business and economic sectors, regionally and internationally, and to ensure their rights to have equal access to services and digital age skill development. -- © Copyright NNT 2022-06-24 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Gottfrid Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Ouch! They are miles away from that point. Can´t they just start with, that it´s not ok for a Thai male to hit his wife and hide it under the name of a domestic dispute between a married couple. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoreFarang Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Do Thai women need more support? I see successful Thai women in leadership roles all the time. Some are managers, i.e. accountants in big companies and others run their own companies. And I didn't get the impression that the men in those companies don't respect those women. Women should have the same opportunities. And as far as I see they have those same opportunities in Thailand. IMHO it does not make any sense to try to equalize the outcome like the same number of women on the board of directors or in specific positions. Women are different from men, they have often different goals. Everybody should do what they want to do and are capable of doing. Don't promote anybody only because of their gender! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be more worried that this will encourage even more blokes to pretend that they are women. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
