As the basic rights of migrant workers in Thailand's seafood industry remain unprotected, the country should remain on the Tier 2 watchlist in this year's Trafficking in Persons (TIP) report by the United States' Department of State, a seminar was told.

The remark was made by Roisai Wongsuban of Freedom Fund. She shared the findings from a research called "Seafood Working Group Findings on Taiwan and Thailand for the 2022 Trafficking in Persons Report" conducted by the Global Labor Justice-International Labor Rights Forum (GLJ-ILRF) and the Seafood Working Group (SWG).
