Summary:
The report finds that the complaint mechanisms available for inbound and outbound migrant workers to address grievances related to their recruitment into work in Thailand are complex and are often inadequate. While the system is more comprehensive for outbound Thai migrant workers, challenges remain in providing for fair hearing and resolution of grievances.These challenges are further exacerbated for inbound migrant workers, as the current system was not designed specifically to address issues affecting inbound workers. Coordination with the criminal system and judiciary is not clearly defined and investigation of brokers remains difficult within the framework of the mechanisms available.
