An activist representative of sеx workers holds a sign during a demonstration calling for the legalization of prostitution at the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security in Bangkok, Thailand, 13 June 2024. The Thai government has pledged to legalize the prostitution after the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security drafted a bill to protect sex workers and regulate the profession in a bid to save sеx workers from being exploited. In Thailand sеx workers were fighting for their basic and occupational rights protection for decades but under the 1996 Prevention and Suppression of Prostitution Act which enforced sеx work a crime.
