Burmese Migrant Worker, Seafood Factory, Samut Prakan, Thailand


Pregnant workers face safety challenges at their workplace when their employer doesn't follow the rules for maternity rights according to the Thai Labor Protection Act. They are asked to do tasks that are normally done by non-pregnant workers, like lifting heavy things and walking on slippery floors. Sometimes, they're even told to hide near the restroom when important visitors come, so the visitors don't know they are doing the same work as others.
