Title A Cry for Justice Advocating for Thai Hostages in Gaza Abstract As social workers, we are deeply saddened and angered by the news of five Thai workers being held hostage in Gaza for over a year. Their release is a relief, but we cannot forget about those still suffering. Nattapong Pingsa remains a hostage in Gaza, and two Thai workers have been killed during this conflict. We must act to support these victims and their families. Social workers have a duty to advocate for the well-being of others. By advocating for the release of Nattapong and the retrieval of the bodies of the deceased Thai workers, we can show our solidarity with those affected by this tragedy. It is also crucial that we acknowledge the role Thailand's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has played in addressing this crisis. Their work to secure the release of the first batch of hostages and their ongoing efforts to secure Nattapong's release demonstrate a commitment to protecting Thai workers abroad. As social workers, we can support these efforts by raising awareness about this issue within our own communities. Ultimately, as long as situations like these persist, it is clear that more needs to be done on an international level. We must push for policies and measures that protect vulnerable workers overseas from violence and exploitation. This is not only a moral imperative but also a necessary step in ensuring global stability. We owe it to the Thai hostages who have suffered so much, their families, and our world community to keep fighting until justice prevails.
