Sexual harassment is widespread in Thai society, often normalized and inadequately addressed by authorities, leading to victims' reluctance to report incidents fully.
A recent increase in public allegations, especially against politicians, signals a societal shift as more Thai women become aware of their rights and refuse to tolerate harassment.
Experts urge all organizations, including political parties, to establish effective internal mechanisms and provide education on gender equality to seriously combat sexual harassment.
The prevalence of harassment is linked to a lack of sexual education in schools and societal views that often blame victims while excusing perpetrators.
