Background:

USAID Thailand Counter Trafficking in Persons activity (USAID Thailand CTIP) seeks to reduce trafficking in persons (TIP) and to better protect the rights of trafficked persons in Thailand by reducing demand and incentives for using trafficked labor, empowering at-risk populations to safeguard their rights and strengthening protection systems for survivors. As a source, transit, and destination country for TIP, Thailand is impacted by this crime in various ways. USAID Thailand CTIP strengthens collaboration among the public and private sectors and civil society to promote a rights-based approach to victim identification and assistance. This includes qualitative research on good practices in assistance to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex (LGBTQI+) survivors of TIP. By ensuring that trafficked persons are identified and receive the support they need, their rights will be better protected, and they will be less at risk of being re-victimized.
