Guwahati hosted a programme on the rights and privileges of the transgender community

On Friday, Administrative Staff College in Guwahati hosted a one-day zonal awareness programme with stakeholders on the rights and privileges of the transgender community. The Assam Directorate of Social Justice and Empowerment initiated the programme in an effort to create an inclusive society for all, including transgender people.

The main goal of the awareness campaign was to educate the general public about transgender and gender nonconforming people, as well as the issues associated with their transition and identity, as well as to raise awareness and perception in the field, directorates, various departments, districts, and aligned departments, which have very little knowledge about the transgender community.
