snoop1130 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 End Prosecution Of Sex Workers And Protect Female Rights Defenders, UN Says By Pravit Rojanaphruk, Senior Staff Writer Officers from the Ministry of Affairs raid the Nataree brothel on Bangkok’s Ratchadaphisek Road in June 2016. BANGKOK — Thailand should stop prosecuting female sex workers, improve conditions in women’s prisons and take steps to protect female human rights defenders, the UN body in charge of promoting gender equality has suggested. Those issues were among a host of recommendations from the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women, or CEDAW, in its first such review of women’s status in the kingdom in over a decade.

hansnl Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 It would be nice if Thailand followed up on this report. But, the advise to spruce up the prisons for women? The prisons for men are more in need of sprucing up. In fact, the whole prison system needs a lot of sprucing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
