Transgender Groups in Bengaluru Oppose Police Guidelines Restricting Public Activities
Transgender and gender minority groups in Bengaluru have condemned police guidelines issued on September 24 that regulate their activities in public spaces, arguing these measures criminalize the community without providing alternative livelihoods. Activists emphasize that traditional practices like badhai and begging are integral to their culture and call for the withdrawal of the order. They demand the formation of a state-level committee to address violence and oppression, along with housing, employment, health insurance, and welfare support tailored to the community's needs.
