Transgender Perspectives in India

Community Business India Conference 2017
PERSONAL STORIES

Transgender individuals have always been a visible part of Indian culture and society. Yet a lack of understanding and a fear of their difference, has led them to be ostracised, rejected and pushed to the margins of society. In this session we hear about the personal experiences of discrimination and exclusion faced by transgender individuals in India. We also invite an expert to share perspectives on what is and can be done to promote greater transgender inclusion – both by the Government and the corporate sector, in India.
