Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: In India, the legal environment for transgender people has changed dramatically, especially in the wakeof historic rulings and laws intended to uphold their rights and encourage social inclusion. Thelegislative foundations enabling full rehabilitation for transgender individuals in India are examined inthis study, with an emphasis on social integration tactics and policy implementation. The SupremeCourt's 2014 decision upheld transgender people's constitutional rights to equality, respect, and nondiscrimination by recognizing them as a third gender. In order to protect transgender rights and makeit easier for them to access different assistance programs, the Transgender Persons (Protection ofRights) Act, 2019 was passed. Notwithstanding these developments, there are still issues with theefficient application of these laws, which are frequently brought on by social stigma, ignorance, andinsufficient funding.
