As we embark on a journey to address road safety concerns for children in Thailand, let’s hear what the children have to say.

Monday 18th December, Bangkok – The Migrant Working Group celebrates International Migration Day 2017 by recognising all children’s rights to survive, learn, and be protected.

“Today, there are more than 200,000 migrant children in Thailand who are currently out of school. Approximately 60% of these children are out of school due to their status and the discrimination that they face,” Save the Children’s Country Director in Thailand, Kim Koch said.

The Hua Sai Case review meeting marks an effective partnership among government and non-government agencies to combat against trafficking.

Save the children works collaboratively with the Thai government to strengthen protection mechanism for all children and the most vulnerable one, such as trafficking victims. SCI participates at the Anti trafficking day event to ascertain our standpoint to prevent and combat human trafficking.

Thailand is 84^th in a global ranking of the best and worst countries for children to grow up in, putting it ahead of regional neighbours like Vietnam, Cambodia and Myanmar, a new report from Save the Children reveals. 

The ranking positions Thailand in the top half of the ledger, however, many migrant children living in Thailand are having their childhoods cut short in large numbers, especially because of their lack of access to education.
