Members of the Feminist Liberation Front pose for a photo during a rally on October 9, 2021 in Bangkok, Thailand. The Feminist's Liberation Front is a democratic reform group focused on promoting gender equality and LGBTQ rights in Thailand. While raising awareness of issues such as marriage equality, gender-based violence, and oppression, the speakers at rally's organized by the Feminist Liberation Front also call for institutional reform and the repeal of Section 112, a criminal code in Thailand's lese majeste laws which carry up to 15 years in prison. Under the leadership of Chumaporn “Waaddao” Taengkliang, the Feminist Liberation Front acts as a safe space for feminists, members of the LGBTQ community, activists and allies while maintaining peaceful, colorful protests promoting inclusivity and human rights. While globally Thailand is considered an inclusive country for LGBTQ+ communities and tourists, those living here struggle for equal rights as courts continue to postpone rulings in a groundbreaking LGBTQ+ marriage equality case.
