Areas of Work
Founded in 2002, The Cross Cultural Foundation (CrCF) is a Thailand-based nonprofit foundation working to ensure equal access to justice for all people in Thailand by monitoring and investigating human rights abuses; advocating for and promoting a vision of justice that empowers people to understand and realize their rights; and the direct protection of human rights through legal strategies. Within this integrated purview, CrCF has focused on initiatives that enhance access to justice for Thai citizens as well as indigenous and minority populations, including migrant workers, refugees or defenders in exile, stateless persons, and victims of conflict; the prevention of torture of human rights defenders; and providing free legal aid and tangible assistance to vulnerable groups in Thailand’s southern border provinces. We work closely with international human rights networks to empower and include indigenous and minority populations.
