How can transgender rights be further improved in India?
Many steps will have to be taken to improve transgender rights. First, strictly implement the 2019 law. Second, give them opportunities in jobs, like Tata Steel did. Third, make gender change treatment easier in hospitals and train doctors. Fourth, increase gender awareness in schools and show a positive image of the gender on TV. Learning from foreign countries like argentina and canada which have easy gender identification rules, india can do the same.
Economic benefits of including transgenders in jobs
If a World bank report is to be believed, if transgender people work, India's GDP can increase by 1.7 percent. This means that the country will benefit economically. Giving them work will improve their lives and also lead to the progress of the country. For example, if they work in a factory or office, they will earn money and contribute to the country's economy.
What is the significance of international Transgender Day of Visibility?
This day is celebrated every year on march 31. Its purpose is to tell people about the discrimination and violence against transgender people. This day honors their courage and contribution. Also, it gives an opportunity to raise voice for their rights. For example, on this day people take out rallies and spread awareness on social media.
