webfact Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 The government is determined to promote the rights of all citizens to have equality. The administration also supports the cooperation of all sectors to move forward in creating a Thai society that is diverse and equal in terms of gender. BANGKOK (NNT) - Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin made the statement during his keynote speech at the international talks titled “Business, Gender Diversity, and the Path Ahead.” He reiterated that the Thai government places importance on empowering all citizens, regardless of age, gender, religion, nationality, or social status, as Thailand has stated during the 75th anniversary celebration of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) in December 2023. This is especially true for gender equality, which is considered a fundamental human right in Thai social policy. The aspiration is to ensure that no one is left behind on the journey towards an equal and prosperous society. The prime minister also underlined that the government is proud to support the equal marriage law. The move reflects the government's commitment to promoting the rights of all citizens, while reaffirming its promise to create a society that is open to diversity and provides equal opportunities for everyone. Furthermore, the government supports activities related to gender equality of all sectors, both domestically and internationally. This also includes consideration in the areas of education, workplaces, non-discriminatory healthcare, and access to create an environment that promotes diversity for everyone. The premier believes that the discussion will be an opportunity for all sectors to engage in constructive dialogue, share insights, experiences, and effective solutions. He added that the participation of all sectors will help define the path of gender equality in Thai society and promote an environment for success for the collective. by Naark Rojanasuvan Source: NNT 2024-02-13 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Strange that marriage wasn't mentioned... until then nothing is equal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfd101 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 1 hour ago, zhounan said: It is either diversity or it is equality. Nonsense. Diversity describes people's differences (of height or weight or intellect or sexuality or wealth or any other measure you can think of). Equality says all people should be treated equally (from moral, social & legal points of view). Obviously both can apply anywhere and at the same time. Why does a choice have to be made?

ikke1959 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 (edited) What a rubbish.. The Government is proud to support the Gay Marriage, but that is all, The will not make the law as again there are delays for committees.. talking is all there is to save face, but the reality is different. And citizens equal?? Why do foreigners have to pay more for some attractions? Why is there double pricing? Why are normal people in jail, and Mr Thaksin not? Why can he say and do as he likes even with violating section 112...?? Why are people who protest being followed, are accused of everything, while coupmakers have thrown over an elected Government without any punishments?? Talking indeed, but no equality only for the rich and famous, but not ordinary people and foreigners Edited February 13 by ikke1959 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sherwood Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 There is no equality in Thailand, period. You are poor or you are an entitled Elite. Two different worlds and the place is not about to change any time soon. I'm in no man's land, being an expat and I have no allegiance to the gender debate, or politics in general but I do believe this govt is no better or worse than the previous bunch of clowns.
