Anti-trafficking and victim assistance

The United States Department of State issues an annual Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report, which is the world's most comprehensive resource of governmental anti-trafficking efforts. This report is the U.S. Government's principal diplomatic tool to engage foreign governments on human trafficking. To conduct its thorough research, the US State Department relies on local activists and frontline defenders of human rights issues like LPN. In 2017, 4 out of the 6 cases alluded to in the US TIP Report were referred to the government by LPN.

Peaceful relations between Thailand and Japan

2017 -2018

The Embassy will try its best to continue to promote cooperation in the political, security, economic, and international spheres and indeed contribute to the development of this whole region through the deepening of the amicable relationships between Japan and Thailand and between Japan and ASEAN.

Extended LPN Network

LPN believes that migrant populations can transform their vulnerability into a strength by forming networks, sharing information, helping one another and acting collectively. Over the years we have seen the power of community-building, and have mentored and supported the launch of several community-based organizations. These are some of the networks that have spun out of LPN, or have been mentored by LPN's leadership.

Thai & Migrant Fishers Union Group

Fishers rights and advocacy network

Formerly known as the Thai & Migrant Fisherman's Union Group, the Fisherman Labour Group is led and run by rescued victims of slave labor at sea. It is the first organization in Thailand that combines Thai and migrant fishermen into a trusted community where they can share their experiences and stories. These stories form powerful evidence to help advocate for just operations, better fishing policies, and humane working conditions. The group is also an important tool for empowerment as it provides returned fishermen with the opportunity to conduct their own operations and regain the sense of autonomy and agency they lost as trafficking victims. We are currently working to turn this informal group into a formally registered worker union, with the power to advocate on behalf of former, existing and future fishermen in Thailand.

MAST

Supply chain innovation & in-port fishermen services

The MAST (Multi-stakeholder Initiative for Accountable Supply Chain of Thai Fisheries) was established in March 2016 at Washington DC by LPN and Bangkok legal advocacy group TLCS, along with partners in the US. MAST is an ambitious initiative to address the root cause of human trafficking and IUU fishing in the Southeast Asia fishing sector with a constructive approach.

MAST's immediate goals include the establishment of fishermen drop in centers at major ports to provide shelter, food, and first aid, communication with families, legal advice and grievance mechanisms to fishermen; a legal clinic specializing in cases of fishermen abuse, and the strengthening of public awareness of migrant workers’ living conditions. In the long term, MAST will demand improvements to government regulation and monitoring of fishing vessels of all sizes and pursue the adoption of better vessel monitoring technology (Pelagic data systems) which can detect suspicious activity on fishing vessels.
