The first month of 2025 has already flown by. It was surprisingly cold for quite some time, a rare treat for those of us in Thailand. However, as the weather changes, we now face the persistent issue of PM2.5 pollution, which affects everyone, especially those working outside with little protection like riders. Just a reminder to take extra care of your health during these conditions.
Happy New Year 2025! As we say goodbye to 2024, we would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all who supported our work throughout the past year.
November holds deep significance for us. On the 25th, we observed the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women—a powerful reminder of the ongoing struggles faced by women, children, and individuals enduring gender-based violence.

As we bid farewell to 2023 and embraced the new year of 2024, JELI missed the opportunity to extend our wishes for a happy New Year. However, we seize this month of Songkran to wish everyone a joyous Thai New Year. Over the past four months, JELI has remained steadfast in our commitment to promoting labor rights.
Following the election in May, the Pheu Thai Party eventually managed to take the lead in forming the government. In terms of labor rights policies that the Pheu Thai Party has advocated for, many of them remain uncertain in terms of implementation. Therefore, it is essential for the general public to continue monitoring the government and its agendas – to ensure that the party follows through on the promises made to the public.
July has passed, marking itself as another turning point in the thorny road of modern Thai political history.
After the recent national elections held on May 14th, the Move Forward Party, a coalition joined by those who hold progressive views and a firm belief in democratic principles, has emerged as a prominent force in the complex landscape of modern Thai political history.
