Three exclusive public toilets for transgender individuals have been opened in Jharkhand’s Ramgarh district in a bid to prevent discrimination and provide a safe space to members of the community.
“The transgender community has long faced social neglect and inconvenience, and the administration is committed to removing these barriers,” Ramgarh Deputy Commissioner Faiz Aq Ahmed Mumtaz said.
The DC directed all departmental officials concerned to ensure the effective implementation of the schemes being run, the statement said.
Members of the transgender community in Jharkhand have long been demanding separate toilets in public places. They had held a march in Ranchi last year to raise awareness about their rights and press for their demands, including employment opportunities, access to education, housing, separate toilets in public places and equal healthcare facilities.
