Transgender

Transwomen are left to cope with severe discrimination and violence. Theprevailing social barriers prevent them from integrating into the mainstream of society. Their issues are not heard or addressed. Through the remarkableefforts of SUDAR the rights of these excluded transwomen are protected to a large extentby providing psychosocial care and various skill-based programmes that will empower them to face the challenges of life.

In addition to the Psychosocial Training, the transgenders requested for a Spoken English course to improve their communication skills. Hence, a Spoken English Course was initiated at Shanthi Bhavan, Stella Maris College, Chennai. This is a two-month course (twice a week – Thursday and Friday) wherein they are trained to speak English fluently. Later, a Beautician course was also conducted for the same batch.
