BANGKOK, 8 November 2015 (NNT) - The government continues to tackle human trafficking, a national agenda issue, in the hope to raise Thailand's worker protection to meet international standards.
The government has completed an operational plan to prevent human trafficking in the labor sector in 2016. In the short term, there will be strategies to control employment agencies and urgently identify citizenship of foreign workers. Relevant laws will also be revised.
The plan's long-term solutions focus on the promotion of exporting and importing of workers by the government as well as legal actions against government employees and other people involved in human trafficking. Relevant units will be urged to work together more closely in fighting against human trafficking in all dimensions.
