Thousands of protesters marched on [/news/thailand/index.html Thailand]'s royal barracks last night holding inflatable rubber ducks - a symbol used by the peaceful pro-democracy movement to ridicule the police. Heavily-armoured officers defended by shields and banks of barbed wire kept the demonstrators from getting close to the King's Guard headquarters in Bangkok on Sunday. Protesters are demanding curbs on of King Maha Vajiralongkorn's power, including that he renounce his claim on several of the royal army regiments. The months of demonstrations against the monarchy - once taboo due to a draconian royal defamation law - have reverberated through the ruling political class. Sunday's protest - the latest in a series of near-daily turnouts across the capital - was meant to target the 11th Infantry Regiment.

'These two regiments have been involved in cracking down on people in the past,' said prominent protest leader Parit 'Penguin' Chiwarak. 'They have also played key roles in past coups.' The black-clad protesters wore hair clips with yellow rubber ducks, while those on the frontlines donned gas masks and helmets - prepared for any potential skirmishes with authorities.

'Their duty should be to protect the people.' Protesters folded into paper planes a 'people's declaration' - which called for the regiments to be transferred back - and flew them across the barriers to the stone-faced police. They also threw red paint at the feet of the police to signify the security forces' role in violent crackdowns on previous pro-democracy movements, before rallygoers dispersed at about 10pm. The military has long positioned itself as a defender of Thailand's enormously wealthy royal family, who boast assets conservatively estimated to be some $30-$60 billion.

By [http://www.speakingtree.in/search/Anuradha Anuradha] Nagaraj CHENNAI, India, Dec 1 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - S eparated from her parents, Jayashree Ponrajan spent most of her [http://www.techandtrends.com/?s=teenage teenage] years trapped in a form of bonded labour - forced to live and work in the spinning mills of southern India. It took Ponrajan years to find a way out, but ever since then she has been denouncing the recruitment of teenagers in India's textile and garments industry and the harsh conditions they face. That made her an obvious candidate for a new initiative that will train victims of forced labour and human trafficking to be campaigners in communities at high risk from modern slavery. "I tell everyone my story - how I went to a spinning mill when I was 14, cried when I was not allowed to meet my mother, lost the nails of my right hand and learnt to continue work with my left," Ponrajan told the Thomson Reuters Foundation. Now 43, she has been recruited to a team of 50 female slavery survivors and hopes her voice will be heard by those who can change the way business and work is conducted in the Indian garment industry, which employs at least 12 million people. The initiative wants to "bring the lived experience of women and survivors to the anti-slavery movement", said Claire Falconer, who heads the Freedom Rising project, launched by anti-trafficking nonprofit the Freedom Fund. "The aim is to give an authenticity to the voice of the movement as their (survivors') perspective is critical to the work of changing the conditions that lead people to be exploited," she added. About 2,260 cases of human trafficking involving more than 6,000 victims were reported in India last year, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-thai-lan-bangkok-pattaya-5-ngay.html tour thái lan] with sex trafficking and forced labour the most common offences. Networks of former victims across various Indian states play a key role in helping anti-trafficking groups reach people still trapped in modern slavery - from bonded labour in brick kilns to labour abuse in garment factories. In December, survivors from 11 Indian states turned campaigners by roping in their communities to write more than 110,000 postcards to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging him to bring in an anti-trafficking law. Several state governments are also working with survivor networks and community groups to track down and help victims. Under the new programme, being launched online on Wednesday, each cohort of 50 leaders in different states will get a minimum of 12 months of mentoring, leadership and technical training, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-thai-lan-bangkok-pattaya-5-ngay.html tour thái lan] before graduating to join the Freedom Rising alumni network. "Besides building capacity of individuals, we want to change organisations culturally. For example, many organisations working to protect the rights of female garment workers are led by men," Falconer said. Following the pilot project in the southern state of Tamil Nadu, the Freedom Fund will roll out the programme to other parts of India, Nepal, Thailand and Ethiopia. For Ponrajan, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-thai-lan-bangkok-pattaya-5-ngay.html tua du lịch thái lan] who eventually graduated in social work and now works as a field coordinator for nonprofit Centre for Action and Rural Education (CARE), her new role is an opportunity for personal growth as well as a chance to help others. "I want to be heard everywhere and by everyone. For that I need to learn English and also be more aware of labour laws," she said. "I'm hoping this programme will help me learn new skills (to) reach out to more people. Then, change will happen faster." (Reporting by Anuradha Nagaraj @AnuraNagaraj; Editing by Helen Popper.
