The Indian government has announced a first of its kind equal opportunity policy for transgender people.
The policy will prohibit the disclosure of a trans person’s gender identity without their consent as the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Rules 2020 requires.
This will encourage the fair treatment of trans people and create workplaces free from discrimination, harassment and bias.
The policy seeks to ensure a trans employee’s the right to choose a pronoun, gender and a chosen name — every business.
