Baseline research findings on fishers and seafood workers in Thailand

In its 2017 Global Estimates of Modern Slavery report, the International Labour Organization (ILO) estimated that nearly 25 million workers in 2016 were in forced labour. One in ten of those workers was in the fishing and agriculture industries.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES

The project addresses four core objectives with special focus on Thailand’s key fishing and seafood regions:

Strengthen Policy

Strengthen the legal, policy and regulatory framework in the fishing and seafood sectors by raising labour standards and facilitating more legal migration into the seafood & fishing sectors.

Enhance Government

Enhance the capacity of Government officers to effectively identify and take action against forced labour and other labour rights abuses in the fishing & seafood processing sectors.

Improve Compliance

Improve compliance with the Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work (Core Labour Standards) in the seafood and fishing industries through the implementation of the Good Labour Practices (GLP).

Support Workers

Increase capacity of unions and CSOs to support workers and victims of labour abuses including women and children.

Combatting Unacceptable Forms of Work in the Thai Fishing and Seafood Industry

In recent years, a number of graphic reports have triggered increased awareness of the serious human and labour rights abuses committed in the Thai commercial fishing and seafood processing industries, particularly against migrant workers. The Thai Government, industry, workers’ organizations and civil society organizations have all stepped up efforts to respond to these abuses. This EU-funded ILO project works closely with these partners towards the prevention and reduction of unacceptable forms of work in the Thai fishing and seafood processing sectors.

Achieving ‘Decent Work’ in Thailand’s Fishing Industry

Decent Work Day today is celebrated around the world to draw attention again to the need for work that is productive, that delivers a fair income and equally importantly work in which the protection of labour rights is a fundamental and irreplaceable element of national policies and development strategies.
