Transgender people from different places attended the meeting and discussed the ways they are being treated in the society. Popy Hijra, chairman of Shustha Jibon, a social welfare society said, “We face lots of obstacles in our lives. In Sirajganj, there are more than 1100 transgenders, and most of them don’t get proper jobs as the society keeps on insulting the transgender. Aminul Islam, director, National Legal Aid Service said, there was no recognition of transgender people in our society but recently government gave them recognition. They don’t have proper education, but a little love and care from us can change the whole scenario.”
