Historical Background
Following Thailand's participation in the World Conference to review
the achievements of the United Nations Decade of Women in 1975, the
Royal Thai Government approved the establishment of a state
organization for women to formulate policies and plans for the
promotion of Thai women's roles and status. The present National
Commission on Women's Affairs was eventually established as a
permanent national-level women's organization, as stated in the Rules
and Regulations of the Office of the Prime Minister for the National
Promotion and Coordination of Women's Affairs issued on March 8, 1989.
