As per a new regulation passed by the University Grants Commission (UGC), male students can now file cases of sexual harassment against men, women and transgenders.
It’s been a long, tough fight for rights, recognition and respect but, gradually, the transgender community is finally being given the right opportunities to be included in mainstream.

From living on the margins of society to living a life of dignity, transgenders in Punjab may well receive the life changing opportunity to serve as conductors and safety guards on buses.
