The best of balance and beauty comes together in Thailand, with it’s mindful energy of “Sufficiency Economy” embodied in the way people live, relate and work. We learned here about the Thai philosophy of “Sufficiency Economy” developed by His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX), Father of the Thai Nation. 

With the aim of creating balance, goodness and steady development at all levels of living and all spheres of consciousness with a focus on human values and development, the principle of Sufficiency Economy encourages the Buddhist middle path, viz. shunning extremism of any kind and adopting moderation and mindfulness for individual strength and social stability. 

Meetings at the National Council of Women of Thailand emphasised the importance of global collaborations and the continuing work to promote women of boards and in political participation. 

The Thai spirit of taking care of one and all is most evident in it’s prisons, especially women’s prisons. “Let us never forget the forgotten,” shared former honorable Minister and eminent leader K Kobkarn Wattanavrangkul

in a passionate appeal.

In Chiang Mai, we learned about the rising number of prisoners especially women, mostly sentenced or under trial for drug related offences. Driven with Thai spirit of care and dignity for one and all, Princess Mahidol and the Government of Thailand along with UNODC developed the Bangkok Rules (adopted by the UNGA in 2010). 

The Bangkok Rules, or the, “The United Nations Rules for the Treatment of Women Prisoners and Non-custodial Measures for Women Offenders”, provide a set of 70 rules and guidelines for governments globally to ensure the human dignity and compassionate treatment of female offenders prisoners, and take actions and endeavours during incarceration for their eventual rehabilitation and reintegration.

Inspired by the phenomenal work being done at the prison’s vocational center, with the hope and possibility of a good future for all, we decided to launch a new G100 wing for Prison Reforms & Reintegration, with a vision to ensure that Bangkok Rules are implemented globally in the spirit of nurturing the human potential with education and training of the inmates along with mindset change and societal support for empowering the second chance so deserved by one and all. 

Convenor: Dr. Sirikul Nui Laukaikul, Global Chair, Brand Creation & Marketing, along with the most empowering team of leaders and Sisters in service.
