รายงานผลการประเมินสถานการณ์ ด้านสิทธิมนุษยชนของประเทศไทย ปี 2563 บทสรุปผู้บริหาร assistance and fiscal measures to reduce the people’s expenditure burden. However, certain assistance packages using online platforms could not reach some affected groups, e.g., ethnic groups due to obstacles in language or lack of internet access for those living in remote areas. The domestic violence cases against women have increased and some women face lack of access to health care services especially regarding termination of pregnancy. It is found that the new round of COVID 19 spread, mainly among migrant workers and in certain provinces among those linked with gambling places, is a result of the government’s failure to strictly enforce relevant laws. The NHRCT has therefore made recommendations to the government that it should consider reaching out to certain groups of people and set appropriate practical channels to provide access for those groups to effectively exercise their rights. With regard to the distribution of COVID 19 vaccines, priorities should be given without discrimination to people with greater risks, i.e., those whose work may involve direct contact with COVID 19-infected patients and people who are more vulnerable to be infected in terms of health. COVID 19 vaccines should be given to those living in highly infected areas, where migrant workers are densely populated in quarantine places without separation of the people who may have already been infected. Additional measures should be sought to reduce the risks, including extensive communication to disseminate knowledge about disease prevention and government measures in the languages that migrant workers can understand. Laws should be strictly enforced to curb the illegal importation of migrant workers and operation of gambling establishments countrywide, especially where government officials are involved. 21
