Forum hears of migrants’ plight
Female migrant workers in Thailand are vulnerable to abuse and exploitation and often end up working long arduous hours in the toughest sectors for sub-standard wages, a forum was told on Sunday.
Speaking at a forum held by the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women, also known as UN Women, to raise awareness about migrant women workers’ rights, Patima Tungouchakul, co-founder of the Labour Protection Network, said women migrants in Thailand are generally paid less than men for doing the same work.
