Author : Dr. Kabita Chakraborty

Abstract :

Concept as well as development of human rights has an important role in shaping a nation’s image. Human rights are the very basic rights which every people are entitled to enjoy by birth without any discrimination made on the basis of caste, creed, sex, religion, etc. Under this background, this researcher is trying to find out the true legal status of transgender community in our society. Though transgender is considered to be a different category of people, but they should also be entitled to enjoy certain basic human rights so that they can also lead a dignified life like us. But however, in real social scenario, what we find that this transgender community are seen to be a taboo and are victims of exploitation and thus they are still struggling for the recognition of their rights. However there is multidimensional attempt on the part of the three organs of the government to improve their conditions but there must be some additional support which we as a community should give and make this fight on united stand.
