Note	People of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities face significant discrimination and violence in all aspects of their lives. Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) workers face employment discrimination that limits access to skills, jobs, opportunities to advance, and social security. The ILO is committed to eliminating discrimination, promoting diversity, and achieving decent work for all women, men, transgender and intersex people. This report on Thailand is part of a series of country studies that examines the discrimination faced by LGBT people at work and identifies approaches and good practices to promote equality in workplaces for all.
