RTF: Rak’s Thai Foundation

The Raks Thai Foundation (RTF) is a Non-Government organization that is dedicated to building a civil society where individuals can enjoy a high quality of life, exercise their rights, and experience equality. RTF’s primary goal is to empower women and girls, regardless of their nationality, ethnicity, age, faith, or socio-economic background. All of RTF’s programs and operations are focused on promoting the empowerment of women and girls.

RTF carries out its operations through 18 field offices located across all regions of Thailand. RTF collaborates with governmental, local, and international organizations to advance gender equality.

The IOGT-NTO Movement has joined forces with RTF in a 5-year project titled ”Eliminating gender-based violence under the influence of alcohol and drugs.” The overarching objective of this project is to strengthen community-led mechanisms to address gender-based violence and reduce the occurrence and severity of such violence when influenced by alcohol or other drugs. The project specifically focuses on the communities in Chonburi, Nan, and Pattani, Thailand.

Through this partnership, RTF and the IOGT-NTO Movement are working together to enhance community-led efforts in combating gender-based violence and creating safer environments. The project aims to empower individuals and communities to take action against gender-based violence, particularly when it is exacerbated by the influence of alcohol or drugs.
