Asian Women Development Plan International (AWDPI)  has long been committed to addressing the violence and discrimination faced by Asian women overseas, with a focus on providing tangible protection and long-term empowerment. Through our ongoing work, we have come into contact with individual cases and collaboration requests from Thailand, and have observed significant service gaps in areas such as legal support, language assistance, and cultural understanding. Building on our existing program foundation and collaborative network, AWDPI has established a National Office in Thailand to enhance local responsiveness and coordination efficiency.

To support this effort, we are now launching a special recruitment campaign for our Thailand National Office , openly recruiting department heads and team members. We warmly welcome individuals with a strong sense of responsibility, professional skills, and a shared vision for collective action to join us.

We are now recruiting for key roles across all departments. This is more than a recruitment drive — it is a call to action. 

Applicants with long-term experience living, studying, or working in Thailand will be prioritized as part of our efforts to build a strong, locally grounded team. That said, we also welcome passionate newcomers who are ready to grow with us, as well as seasoned professionals and scholars who are eager to contribute their expertise.

If you believe in the power of collective action, if you care deeply about the rights and well-being of Asian women, and if you are ready to make a difference — we invite you to be part of this journey. Join us in shaping a new chapter for women’s empowerment across Southeast Asia, starting here in Thailand.

The Asian Women Development International (AWDPI)   is an international non-profit organization dedicated to eliminating discrimination and gender-based violence against Asian women overseas, while promoting their empowerment and development.
