Coalition of civil society organisations oppose the Transgender Persons Bill 2016. But why?

-Press release by All India Transgender and Intersex Collective

The Constitution of India, framed under the guidance of Dr. BR Ambedkar, was built on the framework of equality, justice, liberty and secularism. It is only due to these ideals that communities of people forced into society's margins have won some legal rights and also gathered the courage to fight against social injustice. The fight still continues, especially because transgender persons, dalits, adivasis, labourers, farmers, women, children, disabled persons, queer persons, religious and regional minorities, and all those who live in the intersections of these margins continue to face extreme violence and discrimination. Most gender non-conforming persons are socially isolated, and worse, face immense violence even within their homes and families as well as discrimination and marginalisation in education and employment, leading to a structure of nearly total formal unemployment and high levels of homelessnes, poverty, sexual and physical violence, social shame and suicide. We ask you to join us to resist transphobia and end the violence and discrimination against transgender and intersex individuals. Raise your voice!
