Fertility and abortion: Burmese women's health on the Thai-Burma border

Suzanne Belton, Cynthia Maung

Research output: Contribution to journal › Comment/debate

Abstract

The research on which this article is based focuses on the mixed flow of migrant workers and refugees in Thailand. Some reside in camps. Those outside the camps have least resource to services and are therefore the most vulnerable. The distinction between ‘migrant worker’ and ‘refugee’ is not at all clear. In addition, Thailand is not a signatory to the Refugee Convention and ‘refugee’ is not an official status in Thailand, whether in camp or not.
