Recognition of freedom for student’s gender identity and expression are outlined in the policy and imbed in the Thammasat’s culture. Thammasat University has published a “Policy on Gender Equality and Non-Discrimination against Women, LGBT+ People, and People with Disabilities” (as policy no. 6 on our sustainability website) that designates a policy and practice guidelines against any discrimination or disadvantage in education or employment. The policy addresses in section 3. “Guideline to Non-discrimination and Gender Equality Promotion” (in item #1 – item #4) that all internal administration within each unit shall actively promote equality, mutual respect and inclusion, ensuring that no individual is discriminated against based on their race, ethnicity, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, or age. It also emphasizes the anti-discrimination for recruitment, admission and job posting. If one discriminates, there will be disciplinary action.
To fosters a positive and safe atmosphere to reduce discrimination and the risk of harassment and abuse, Thammasat promote knowledge and understanding regarding actions that constitute sexual abuse or sexual harassment through the establishment of the “Sexual Safety and Sexual Awareness Promotion Board” in 2019 to regulate and manage all issues related to sexual safety and gender equality. The role and responsibilites are:
Set direction, advise and implement policies and programs to promote sexual safety and the prevention of sexual abuse and harassment.

Student Dress Code – Gender Expression
With the recognition of freedom for student’s gender identity and student uniforms, in June 2020, Thammasat University announced a guideline for non-discriminatory treatment towards LGBTIQN students and how they dress. This guideline allows the students to behave and dress in accordance with their gender, even in the graduation ceremony. It also prohibits actions of harassment, discrimination, bullying or any form of harassments. If one infringes or discriminates, there will be disciplinary action.
Since 2022, the Office of Registrar, Thammasat University, allowed students to specify their gender in their personal history and graduation record with an additional “other” gender field, in addition to just the male and female fields like before. Understanding the rights of LGBT+ and the recognition of more than two genders are therefore very important for educational institutions. สำนักทะเบียนมหาวิทยาลัยธรรมศาสตร์ เปิดให้นักศึกษาได้สามารถระบุเพศตัวเองในประวัติส่วนตัว (2022)

In 2019, the university unified and updated these efforts through the 2019 Policy on Solid Waste Management, which comprehensively addresses all aspects of waste management.
In 2024, the Policy on Solid Waste Management was further updated to emphasize reducing all types of single-use plastics and improving the collection, tracking, and disposal of these materials to mitigate environmental risks, in alignment with guidelines from the Pollution Control Department. This policy ensures proper, systematic, and effective waste management across the university. All university units are required to adopt a 7R strategy to minimize disposable items.

Recycle materials properly to ensure they are processed correctly;
Repair broken items instead of discarding them to extend their lifespan;
Replenish natural resources by choosing eco-friendly products; and
Rethink consumption and waste management to foster a culture of sustainability.
The policy clearly encourages the minimisation of disposable items, as stated in item (5), specifying types of disposable items which include “plastic bags, food-grade plastic bags, plastic cups, plastic bottles, plastic straws, and plastic utensils” to minimize single-use disposable waste or reuse items until the end of their lifecycle, replace them with eco-friendly products.

item (7) specify all flea markets located in common areas or organized by any departments to be responsible for minimizing the use of disposable items and utilize eco-friendly packaging.
The University will lead awareness campaigns to inspire students, staff, and the local community to reduce disposable items and take part in sustainable waste management. These efforts aim to minimize the use of disposable items and increase understanding of the waste management process and guidelines and adhere to “Thammasat University’s No Single-Use Plastic” measures.

8) Facilities and building renovations (ramps, parking space and walkway) with “universal design” concepts
Museums are one of the most important spaces for learning. However, if we consider the environment, physical structure, exhibition design, item placement, and information presentation in most museums in Thailand, it becomes evident that there are still limitations in accessibility for certain groups, particularly for people with visual impairments.
Considering the diversity of perception and physical differences among people, so that everyone can access information freely and equally, is something that has gained attention in many museums worldwide. One of the key “universal design” projects is the external and internal building structure of museums to facilitate blind visitors such as elevator and braille block. For exhibition design, sound and touch were used as means to present and describe objects in the exhibition. The audio description is the basic source of data that museums provided to blind visitors through individual guide or audio guide. The sound and touch in the exhibition allow blind people to increasingly gain information and participate in the museums.
Other facilities and building renovations are such as the new elevators in the Faculty of Social Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, and Faculty of Science & Technology, adding braille numbering buttons and voice announcements. The current project is to renovate additional seven rooms on the first floor at the female dormitory to include the bathroom with holding rails, furniture, study table, kitchen sink and closet that supports daily living, and lastly the ramps in all dormintory areas.
Health innovation: The issue of permanent disability caused by stroke is a significant problem with both economic and social impacts. However, this problem can be alleviated if patients can access innovative rehabilitation and assistance, particularly at the community level. One such innovation is the ‘Arm Booster,’ a device designed to assist in arm rehabilitation for patients. The device is user-friendly and easy to maintain, making it suitable for community use. It facilitates bilateral training, where both arms are used in physical therapy.
Furthermore, the Arm Booster has undergone clinical trials, with results showing significant improvements in patients’ recovery. It has also been proven to effectively reduce the workload of physical therapists. Currently, the Arm Booster is in the process of medical device standard testing and is being distributed for trial use in community healthcare facilities.”

The Girls in ICT Day Thailand 2023 – collaboration with International Telecommunication Union and UNESCO
School of Global Studies, Thammasat University, together with ITU hosted “International Girls in ICT Day – Thailand 2023“ ,under the theme “Digital Skills Seminar on Emerging Technology and Digital Skills”. This seminar aims to deliver basic levels of digital skills training in various areas of ICT, including Emerging Technology and digital skills development, hence, encourage girls and young women to pursue their studies in STEM, enhance their level of digital skills, raise awareness on meaningful and safe use of ICT, and strengthen the Girls in ICT day online community.
The ICT sector is a growing sector for education in both developed and developing countries. This means that qualified female students in technical fields around the world have significant opportunities available to them. These are excellent opportunities in particular for highly skilled girls and young women who are still a minority when it comes to STEM education and careers. Developing initiatives and activities to promote and encourage girls to take up study in STEM and ICT is hence a requirement. To date, over 377,000 girls and young women have (aged 12-24) taken part in more than 11,400 celebrations of International Girls in ICT Day in 171 countries worldwide.
Girls in ICT Day provides an opportunity for girls and young women to see and be exposed to the benefit of ICT in enabling their career and aspiration. Girls in ICT Day Thailand initiative aims to encourage girls and young woman to pursue studying STEM, enhance their level of digital skill, and raise awareness on meaningful and safe use of ICT. Girls in ICT activities will follow the 2023 theme of “Digital Skills for Life.” According to ITU’s latest data, the proportion of women using the Internet globally amounts to 57 per cent, compared to 62 per cent of men. In relative terms, this means that the global Internet use gender gap stands at 8.78 per cent. If women are unable to access the internet and feel unsafe online, they are unable to develop digital skills and participate in digital spaces, diminishing their opportunities to pursue a career in STEM fields.
The opening ceremony will also introduce the digital skills training programmes that will take place virtually throughout the Girls in ICT Day Thailand 2023 on 27 April 2023. Initiatives included the six digital skills training programs: Leadership Program, Entrepreneurship, Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, Emerging Technologies towards SDGs, and Technology for Online Challenge that will take place throughout the Girls in ICT Day Thailand 2023 event.
