Members of Thai society have been urged to join the campaign to stop all forms of violence against women and girls and to be aware of problems involving domestic and family violence.
Thailand has designated the month of November as the campaign month of no violence against women and girls, in line with the United Nations Declaration on the Elimination of Violence against Women.
The Minister of Social Development and Human Security, Mrs. Paveena Hongsakula, spoke about the campaign to end domestic and family violence in the weekly program “Yingluck Government Meets the People” on 16 November 2013.
25 November is observed as the International Day of No Violence against Women. It is also known as “White Ribbon Day,” with the white ribbon as the symbol of anti-violence against women. Thailand ratified the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women in 1985, as well as its Optional Protocol in 2000. It is also committed to attaining the Millennium Development Goals by 2015, which includes Promoting Gender Equality and Empowering Women.
Thailand has also ratified the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime (UNTOC) and Protocol to Prevent, Suppress, and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children, supplementing UNTOC. On 17 October 2013, Her Royal Highness Princess Bajrakitiyabha Mahidol, Thai Ambassador to the Republic of Austria and Permanent Representative of Thailand to the United Nations in Vienna, deposited on behalf of Thailand the two instruments of ratification with the representative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations. The Convention and the Protocol entered into force for Thailand on 16 November 2013.
Violence against women and girls appears in several forms, such as domestic, structural, and cultural violence. Not many victims have come out to seek help and ask for justice. Family violence, in particular, becomes a hidden danger, since a large number of abused women are too embarrassed or frightened to speak up for their rights.
In an effort to help women suffering from violence, Thailand on 9 April 2013 set up a One-Stop Crisis Center, which also offers immediate assistance to children, older persons, and people with disabilities. The center focuses on solving social problems and providing social assistance to these people on a full-cycle basis. Among the social problems are human trafficking, child labor, teenage pregnancy, and various forms of violence against women, children, disabled persons, and the elderly.
The One-Stop Crisis Center, which is operated by the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security, received 11,764 complaints from 11 July to 13 November 2013. Out of these complaints, 819 were related to domestic and family violence. The center provides physical and mental treatments, legal assistance, and recovery and rehabilitation with multidisciplinary teams to help affected people.
