Transgender Community staged protest against Bill passed in Loksabha

Today at Sayjaigunj circle members from transgender community staged a protest against The Trafficking of Persons (Prevention, Protection, and Rehabilitation) Bill, and The Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Bill passed in Loksabha last week. Lakshya trust and Vikal organization backed this protest.

As per bill, transgender members should give up ‘begging’ –  as per transgender members these activities are the main source of income. Bill also ask them to start living with their families or either get admitted at the rehabilitation center.
They also demanded jobs in Government

Critics say the bill is problematic because it requires members of the trans community to be assessed by “screening committees” to determine whether a person is trans or not.

Gender recognition certificates will be issued to trans people after examinations take place by health officers.
