Environmental Justice, Rights And Government Policies -Transgenders In India On Lucidity Of Gender Identity And Marginal Living Conditions

Abstract

One fact is becoming increasingly obvious in the escalating climate crisis: people who are already marginalized in society are the ones who suffer the most and get the least amount of assistance. In recent years, there has been an increasing awareness of how vulnerable groups—including women, children, low-income households, and individuals with disabilities—are disproportionately impacted by climate change. Nonetheless, there are still a lot of communities whose vulnerabilities are not well understood or studied.

These include transgender people, who encounter some of the most pernicious obstacles, especially when trying to obtain essential amenities like water and sanitary facilities. The relationship between climate change, water insecurity, and trans rights requires immediate attention as the globe struggles with increasing heat, frequent floods, and worsening droughts. In the Global South, the situation is far worse. Transgender people are frequently pushed into poverty and informal settlements in nations like India because of stigma, legal invisibility, and economic disadvantage, this research aims to highlight this very issue and steps taken by the government to minimize transgenders struggle in the light of their rights and Environmental justice. The study has assessed various government reports and reports from transgender-based organisations and NGOs to formulate it further explorative and Archival.
