Though formally registered the organisation in July 2008, Sahodari Foundation works like a family of volunteers and members . We have completed ten years and have been very active in transgender rights advocacy in India. Since 2012, our focus was on legal recognition and campaigns in many places in India among the Judiciary for legal recognition. In 2016, we focus on jobs and education for trans people. From 2017, our focus is on education, arts & literature and media for transgender people in India. Our main objectives include: - Promoting social, political, and economic equity and campaign for civil and legal rights of Transgender and intersex people. - Establishing social, economic, and environmental justice for Transgenders, intersex and gender non-confirming people and to eliminate oppression and exclusion based on such factors as race, ethnicity, gender, class, religion, legal status, sexual orientation, age, and disability. - Avoid discrimination based on “gender identity or expression” and ensure that the entire range of transgender, intersex and gender non-conforming people are protected. Though we have received several awards and accolades, We believe in bringing a visionary and positive change in India.
