However, cases of domestic and family violence, especially violence against women, have increased as high as 84% according to statistics while discrimination against LGBT people can still be found. The NHRCT recommends that the government consider measures to end violence against women in families by solving the problem at the root causes in accordance with the recommendations by the CEDAW committee. It should also promote greater access to basic services for female sex workers and obtain their participation in giving opinion on the amendment of prevention and suppression of prostitution law as direct stakeholders. There should be measures and mechanisms for monitoring and follow-up to eradicate cases of sexual abuse and harassment in state agencies. With regard to persons with legal status and rights problem, the Ministry of Interior has made concerted efforts to remove factors which hinder the process of consideration in granting status and nationality to them, speeding up the process without creating more burden on the people who filed such requests. For example, setting clearer operational procedures or guidelines for consideration in granting status/nationality has positively resulted in the higher number of people granted with Thai nationality than the set target. Moreover, the government has embarked on providing additional basic health services to this group of people. Also seen is closer cooperation and more integration among state agencies concerned in solving the problem of school students whose identification number begins with the letter G. However, there are still as many as 480,694 persons with status and nationality problem, while difficulties at operational level persist and have yet to be overcome, e.g. problem in finding reliable witnesses who can confirm proof of a person’s identity, and problems regarding operational mechanisms, limited personnel and budgets compared to the number of the target population. Regarding protection of asylum-seekers/refugees, the state agencies concerned are in the process of laying down criteria and guidelines under the Regulation of the Office of the Prime Minister on the Screening of Aliens who Enter into the Kingdom and are Unable to Return to the Country of Origin, B.E. 2562 (2019). The Regulation is therefore not yet put into practice. Also, the implementation of the Memorandum of Understanding on the Determination of Measures and Alternative Approaches to Detention of Children in Immigration Detention Centers, B.E. 2562 (2019) is under process, particularly in setting the standard operating procedure (SOP). However, in practice, the Immigration Bureau has sought cooperation from the Department of Children and Youth to protect children in vulnerable circumstances by sending them, together with their mothers, to be looked after at shelter homes under the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security or those run by the private sector. As regards Myanmar asylum seekers fleeing fighting in their home country, repatriation cannot be done during 2020 due to the COVID 19 pandemic situation. On the issue of persons with legal status and rights problem, the NHRCT recommends to the government and related agencies that sufficient personnel and budget be allocated 30 คณะกรรมการสิทธิมนุษยชนแห่งชาติ National Human Rights Commission of Thailand
