asylum seekers or aliens who enter the
country but cannot return to their country

for appropriate protection.

3.2 Challenges and Obstacles
Executive Summary
18
Subsidy for new-born children under
the Child Support Grant is not enough
for nurturing the child with a good quality
of life. Moreover, some children still
do not have access to the subsidy.
The elderly lack income security, and
the employment rate has decreased from
last year.
Employment of people with disabilities
in government agencies is low and
does not comply with the law.
There has not yet been an effective
mechanism to help physically and
sexually abused children and women.
There is no law guaranteeing the rights
of LGBTQIA+ people to live in married
relationships in various areas, such as
property management, decisions related
to medical care, and marriage.
There has not yet been any application
for screening and protection against being
returned to the country of origin where
he or she is at risk of danger. Moreover,
Thailand still preserves the reservation
of CRC Article 22 regarding the protection
of children who have requested refugee
status or are considered to be refugees.
Ethnic groups still struggle to access and
use natural resources, arable land and
residential areas, and public health services.
3.3 The NHRCT’s Recommendations
Reviewing the amount of grant to make it
sufficient for raising young children and
removing obstacles barring access to
such right.
Undertaking study and making preparation
to advance the rights of the elderly and
integrating them into the mainstream
human rights.
Promoting the employment of people
with disabilities in both the public and
private sectors.
Making “Stop Domestic Violence”
a national agenda and establishing
an effective mechanism to provide relief
to children who have been violated or
subjected to violence.
Expediting the enactment of laws to
protect and promote the rights of
LGBTQIA+ people and ethnic groups.
Expediting the development of information
databases on stateless children and
youth so that they can access the right
to education, the right to health, and
other basic rights.
Withdrawing the reservation to article 22
of CRC on the protection of children
requesting refugee status or being
considered as refugees.
Disseminating information about the
announcement on the granting of
protected person status among foreigners
who are unable to return to their country
of origin due to the risk of danger to apply
for screening and protection.
