Abstract

Human rights violations and discrimination based on gender identity continue to be common, posing a major challenge for India. (Saleem: 2013) Transgender people in particular, transgender people have faced harassment, abuse and rejection from society. They faced a variety of abuse, ranging from social acceptance to brutal murder. In India, transgender people are treated with contempt and completely shunned by their family and friends. Many transgender women engage in sex work in an extremely dangerous environment due to widespread injustice (Ahmad: 2016). Their clients or partners think it is okay to sexually abuse transgender women. These injustices lead to serious emotional and mental struggles for transgender women.
