ABOUT THE NATIONAL CONFERENCE
Transgender people are commonly ridiculed as ‘hijras,’ ‘Kinners,’ chakkas, zenna, etc. As per the dictionary meaning, a transgender person (often abbreviated to a trans person) is someone whose gender identity or gender expression does not correspond with the sex they were assigned at birth. As they do not conform to the sex they are biologically assigned with, so they are not accepted. Dolefully, Transgender people at a very early stage of their childhood are disowned from the relational ties of their family members and their parents. Consequently, they choose their own relations after parting their ways from their families, forcefully or preferably. When families do not come to support them, they are supported by the new-found relations.
ABOUT THE EVENT
The Conference invites research scholars, academicians, activists, lawyers, and members of the transgender community, students, faculty from different disciplines to share their outlooks on the subjects of deliberation. The conference invites research papers on the RIGHTS OF TRANSGENDER PEOPLE.
In preparing the abstract of their proposed papers, we encourage prospective participants to engage with the highlighted theme of the seminar.
Kindly note that the seminar will be conducted in HYBRID MODE with offline presentations at Himachal Pradesh National Law University, Shimla.
