This workshop aimed to give MMN partners a better understanding of the latest policies and procedures. The Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) advocating for migrants\u2019 rights in the Mekong region need this information to strengthen ongoing efforts in information dissemination and promotion of migrants\u2019 right to social protection.\u00a0 More than 30 participants from Civil Society Organisations in the Mekong subregion participated in this workshop.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this workshop, MMN invited a resource person from the Social Security Office, Ms.Benjawan Sangpeaw, Inspector General of the Social Security Office, to give participants a clearer understanding of the social security system in Thailand available for migrant workers. The presentation from the Social Security Office focused on two parts. First, it discussed Social Security benefits and Compensation Fund benefits. Second, it presented requirements and procedures for migrant workers\u2019 enrollment in the Social Social Security System.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the Question and Answer session, participants raised some questions about the difficulties and obstacles that hinder migrant workers from enrolling into the Social Social Security System and claiming the benefits.
