Community Webinar: Our Identity, Our Rights!

The recent passage of the Amendment to the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2026 has brought significant changes to the legal landscape for transgender, non-binary, and gender non-conforming individuals in India. From identity documentation and medical certification to everyday rights and protections, the implications of these amendments are far-reaching and deeply personal. Understanding what has changed, and what it means for the community, is the first step toward navigating it with clarity and confidence.
