After giving birth, they can come back to Thailand to start working again.<\/p>\n<p>This policy is being enacted following the release of the US State Department&#8217;s 2012 Trafficking in Persons (TIP) report which placed Thailand on the watch list of Tier 2 for the third time running.<\/p>\n<p>According to the MCOT, the Minister thought this policy would prevent trafficking of children.<\/p>\n<p>Mekong Migration Network (MMN) congratulates the Thai government for extending the length of paid maternity leave for migrant women. We assume that migrant women will be entitled to 9 months paid maternity leave as they will be required to take maternity leave from the fourth month of pregnancy until 3 months after giving birth. We also expect the Thai government to provide free of charge appropriate transportation to their home and back to work in Thailand.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Or is it possible that Thailand is so desperate to appease the anti trafficking lobbyists, that it is sacrificing women&#8217;s fundamental rights by deporting pregnant women?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>For inquiries, please contact:<br
