Popular Post snoop1130 Posted March 17, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 17, 2023 Many Thai activists met on Thursday, March 16th, to discuss the possibility of the law on the protection of sex workers. The law would ensure those working in the trade would be equally protected and would not be stigmatized by society, said the group. It would also essentially allow legal prostitution in Thailand, a long debated item that officially doesn’t exist but is Thailand’s worst kept secret. The meeting was hosted by the Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Thailand (FCCT), with the goal of calling out to the public that it is time for Thailand to revoke the crime of prostitution and return dignity to sex workers.

Popular Post harleyclarkey Posted March 17, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 17, 2023 Sex workers not be "stigmatised by society " ? Heck I thought it was readily accepted by Thai society...even encouraged?? BTW, I am all in to legalise sex workers wherever they are. And, I can't stand any woman controlled and abused by scum pimps. Legalisation would give them some hope and safety. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikke1959 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 It is just a shame that this Government doesn't do anything but all important decisions delay for the next Government...

KhaoYai Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 2 hours ago, harleyclarkey said: Heck I thought it was readily accepted by Thai society...even encouraged?? I think readily accepted may be pushing it a bit. Many resent Thailand's worldwide fame for its sex industry. Whenever I've asked Thai's they've said its more or less tolerated - it is very widespread though. The part that services the foreign market is said to be only 10% of the total market in all its guises. No idea how true that is but there are a lot of variations on the same theme - we don't get to see most. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think much pimping goes on in Thailand. The public relation service providers do so of their own free will as it's better than working in the rice fields and gives them the cash to buy expensive phones.

digger70 Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 So much fuss about the legality for the sex workers they been around since day one. Admit this and make it Legal and protect them and Register them /health checks/social security would be nice . Look at our own Dutch Rotterdam and Amsterdams Red light districts , they are legal and have their Government protection. https://prostitutescollective.net/legislation-sex-work-netherlands-legalisation/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus inspect premises and and keep medical records of girls working. One thing: would a foreigner need a work permit or would it come under protected Thai occupation?????

It should've never been illegal in the first place. Congrats to Thailand for looking in a new direction, perhaps? The question here is how is anyone going to judge something as subjective as making sure they're not stigmatized by society Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
