Migration and HIV/AIDS in Thailand: A Desk Review of Migrant Labour Sectors

This desk review and associated bibliography is a component of the broader initiative of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) to provide up-to-date and relevant documentation regarding international migrants, “refugees” and certain mobile populations, and their associated risk and vulnerability to HIV. From August to October 2006, information was gathered from international and national Non-governmental  Organization (NGOs), Governmental Organizations (GOs) and academic institutions. The review set a range for documentation from the year 2000 to 2006 as criteria for inclusion, hoping the information will be as relevant to the current context since migrants’ hardships and their health is directly linked with the Thai government and NGO policies and programmes.
