Thai women march on International Women's Day with 11 demands to challenge labour oppression
Thai women's labour groups marched to Government House in Bangkok with 11 demands, including embracing key International Labour Organisation (ILO) conventions and fresh requisites like recognition of the people’s version of the draft Clean Air bill and facilitation of migrant workers’ access to work permits. They also pressed for provisions enabling female workers to take two days off during menstruation and extended leave for reproductive health services and pregnancy tests.
