Lets hope they truly are moving towards eliminating trafficking of people for either house work/slave wage conditions, prostitution, and forced labor on fishing boats.

they must be kidding, what has Thailand done to improve human trafficking, by not reporting it doesn't mean they are improving it, just sweeping it under the rug is not improving

In this year’s 2022 Trafficking in Persons Report (TIP), compiled and recently published by the US State Department, Thailand has been upgraded to Tier 2, from Tier 2 “watch list” status, said Government Spokesman Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana today (Wednesday).

 

The TIP report also honours Thai labour activist, Apinya Tajit, as one of this year’s six TIP Report Heroes, in recognition of her heartfelt and unwavering persistence in advocating for workers exploited by forced labour, especially in the fishing industry, assisting victims with their reintegration into society and sharing her expertise with government officials and anti-trafficking authorities.

 

Apinya was at the release ceremony for this year’s TIP report, held at the US State Department yesterday, with four other heroes, but without Kahtehrynah Chehrehpahkha from Ukraine, who were honoured by Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
