Popular Post snoop1130 Posted November 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 6, 2023 BANGKOK (NNT) - November has been designated as a month to focus on eradicating violence against children, women, and families in Thailand. Social Development and Human Security Minister Varawut Silpa-archa made clear the importance of ending all domestic violence, urging the public to report incidents to the ministry’s 24/7 hotline or Line account. Incidents of violence have markedly increased according to the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security (MSDHS), with over 4,000 cases reported this fiscal year, up from the previous year’s 2,493. A significant majority of the victims were female, and violence occurred predominantly in domestic settings. In an effort to curb the violence, the Royal Thai Police have introduced platforms to support victims, with a focus on adolescents who show early signs of aggression due to various stressors. With specialized psychiatric support and shelters available, the police aim to offer refuge and mental care for those affected. ThaiHealth is also playing a role by addressing the digital aspect of children’s lives, noting the widespread access to digital devices among Thai children and the associated risks of cyberbullying and online threats. The organization is working towards enhancing digital literacy and safe internet usage. The increase in violence and the rise in psychiatric cases among the young population have prompted calls for a balanced legal approach that considers the offenders’ age and the severity of their actions. Meanwhile, efforts are also underway to create safe zones for children and to educate them on valuing self-esteem over material attachments.

Popular Post Gottfrid Posted November 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 6, 2023 I think they will need much more than a month for that, as it´s very deep rooted what men believe they can do to their wife´s in Thailand. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lucky Bones Posted November 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 6, 2023 Finally they are serious about cleaning up DV. A entire month dedicated to doing........nothing. Somchai will get just as smashed on booze or drugs and slap (or worse) Lek & the kids around. Seems to be an acceptable part of Thai Buddhism.🙃🙃 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicholas Paul KNIGHT Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Good article BUT sadly of little use to ordinary families as too often Thai Egos and Thai Culture override normal behaviour . Seen too often the so-called MAN of the house does exactly what he wants and the WIFE has to pick up the pieces, you only have to look at how many broken families there are where the man just walks away without a single care or punishment or even cost. On the surface people will laud the efforts buty the public will know the truth nothing will happen just money spent and plaudits said. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it does not clearly state they need only one month, but it looks like they will only put focus on it during November. Or how do you understand the start of it all? 15 hours ago, snoop1130 said: November has been designated as a month to focus on eradicating violence against children, women, and families in Thailand. It´s like have it all in the first sentence. Also, I have the years of experience in Thailand and how long they really focus on things, as well as how much they just lift out things in the light to look good and after that never hear anything more and no results at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just that domestic violence always get more hidden. It would be a much higher number for the total if we had reports on all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you help this ignorant person out and show where it is hidden? Much of what I have heard is anecdotal or from the news, but my perception is that Thailand has more than its share of domestic violence, tho no where near as high as the middle east Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fittobethaied Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 (edited) The government will never get a handle on domestic abuse until they begin to censor the practice of it on television. Turn on any Thai soap opera and you will see the hisos slapping around their hired help and men slapping around their wives and girlfriends. I once heard a Thai soap producer say that they're only portraying what they see in the culture, and that's a big fat lie. What they are actually doing is shaping culture! When mostly uneducated people see things on TV and in the movies, that becomes their standard of behavior because they actually believe it is acceptable since they saw it on the big screen. The same goes for violence in general on the screen. It turns otherwise semi-normal people into violent humans. However, the government loves it because it gives the military and the police a reason to exist in such huge numbers. It's job security for them if the public can stay scared to death of every imagined boogeyman waiting around the corner to rob them, murder them, rape them or just beat them within an inch of their lives.

keysersoze276 Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Alright. I agree to take the rest of the month off from beating my Thai wife. December will be a blood bath. Lol 555. Please don’t take this comment seriously. Just joking. I will bind and gag her fir November and give her two black eyes for Christmas. Seriously, what kind of country does this? Don’t beat your wife or children for 30 days? Then green lights for the rest of the year? TIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
