Abstract

The presence of transgender groups in India holds considerable cultural and historical significance. Despite their longstanding presence in Indian society, comprehensive data on their socio-economic status remains scant, with the 2011 Indian Census marking a notable first step in enumerating the transgender population. This community grapples with multifaceted challenges, including familial rejection, limited educational and employment opportunities, and widespread discrimination. The prevailing social stigma and lack of acceptance often lead to exclusion from mainstream society, perpetuating cycles of poverty, illiteracy, and vulnerability. Addressing the complex challenges faced by transgender communities requires concerted efforts from policymakers, civil society, and the broader community to foster awareness, challenge societal norms, and implement inclusive policies that uphold their rights and dignity. Embracing diversity, promoting inclusivity, and fostering equitable opportunities are essential steps towards creating a society where transgender individuals can live with dignity, respect, and equal opportunities.
