ThaiWISE Project in partnership between Noomi–Hela Människan i Malmö and Malmö Stad
Thai Women in Sweden Empowerment (ThaiWISE) project is a long-term, multi-year project with the aim to reduce labour exploitation and victimization, with a special focus on Thai massage industry in Malmö, Sweden. The project started in September 2019 with a collaboration between Noomi – Hela Människan in Malmö and the Malmö Stad. ThaiWISE project has been funded by the Swedish Gender Equality Agency (Jämställdhetsmyndigheten), Malmö Stad and the Royal Thai Embassy in Stockholm.
“Regarding domestic violence, participants in this study informed they did not know whom or
where to contact when they were abused. Many choose to reach out to Thai people in Sweden
or Facebook pages of Thai community in Sweden for help, instead of contacting authorities,
due to their insecurity and language barriers.”
