Title: Manual for capacity building on birth registration and citizenship in Thailand
Description: In the 1960s, lack of legal status – citizenship and birth registration – for highland people was identified as a major future issue for both highlanders and the Royal Thai Government. But, problems still remain. Research by UNESCO has shown that lack of legal status is the greatest single risk factor for a highland girl or woman in Thailand – not from across the border – to be trafficked or otherwise exploited.
