“People will not die from covid but they will die of hunger.”
-Laxmi Narayan Tripathi.
“Sometimesyou have to fight for what you want
and Sometimes the fight isALLyou get.”
Nowhere is this more true than at the present times for the Transgender Community. The people who were already struggling to survive and were dependent on alms,skin trade, dancing in celebrations etc. are now confined at homes for over two Months.
The lack of proper govt. documentation increases the misery as even Relief packages are out of bounds.
