Discriminating the transgendered people exists even in some of the biggest academic institutions in India. Its a shame that even the inteligent youth, the toppers, aren't aware of the struggles of our community.

It is very important that they hear our voice, our life, our concerns. Through Sahodari Foundation (www.sahodari.org), I'd like to meet the youth and hold seminars/talks/interactiv e discussions on transgender issues. The students of Socialogy, Social Work and Human rights must definitely be aware of our struggles. I have been writing to the concerned department heads of the institutions for the possibility of offering seminars. I am waiting for their responses.
