Brief Description

The Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand B.E. 2560 (2017), particularly Articles 4, 27, and 71, explicitly guarantees gender equality and the right to equal protection under the Constitution and other laws without discrimination. Article 71 emphasizes the protection of women from violence and unfair treatment, and requires the state to allocate budgets that account for differences in gender, age, and other individual conditions. These constitutional provisions serve as a legal foundation for promoting equality and fairness, and for addressing gender-based violence through legislative and budgetary mechanisms.
