Women’s and children’s rights groups urge action against sexual harassment

23 Sept 02:01 Key points summarised by AI

Advocacy groups for women's and children's rights demand political parties, especially Move Forward, commit to ending sexual harassment with tangible policies.
The urgent call follows a series of sexual harassment allegations against Move Forward members, including a recent accusation by a volunteer against an MP.
Proposed measures include party policies, robust complaint mechanisms, clear procedures, punitive actions, victim remedies and protection, and the enactment of a specific law against sexual harassment.
Public criticism challenges Move Forward's transparency in its investigations, particularly regarding a current MP accused of making sexual gestures, who denies the allegations as a smear campaign.

Yesterday 15:28 Key points summarised by AI

Thailand's Tourism and Sports Minister announced the government will seek clarification from the Chinese Embassy regarding its recent travel advisory warning Chinese nationals about safety concerns in Thailand.
The travel advisory is anticipated to negatively impact the number of Chinese tourists visiting Thailand, despite recent increases in arrivals.
A meet-and-greet event featuring Chinese actress Bai Lu, a WeTV Global Ambassador, was abruptly cancelled just days after the Chinese Embassy issued its safety warning, though no official reason was provided.
The Chinese Embassy's advisory urged citizens to beware of job scams, fraudulent investments, suspicious travel arrangements, and the risk of illegal detention or being lured to the Thai-Myanmar border.
Chinese nationals were advised to verify job offers, use legitimate transport, avoid high-risk border areas, protect personal documents, and keep family informed of travel plans.
