New Delhi: The Lok Sabha on Monday passed a bill that seeks to prohibit discrimination against transgender persons, including in matters of employment, and provides for giving certificates of identity to them. The Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Bill, 2019 was passed after a reply by Rattan Lal Kataria, the Minister of State for Social Justice.
A Bill seeking to empower #transgenders by defining their identity and prohibition of discrimination against them was on Aug 5 passed in the #LokSabha amid the opposition's protest in the House over the #Centre's unprecedented restrictions in #JammuandKashmir.
