Abstract

This paper discuss how Indian corporations can consider and lead the way in providing transgender people with equal employment opportunities, which they have been entitled to for decades. The Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Bill, 2016 (the Bill) is an effort to provide legislative support for recommendations made by the National Legal Services Authority of India. Employers who hire transgender people can receive incentives from the government and employers can submit quarterly returns. Additionally, relevant amendments to specific laws may need to be revised to include transgender individuals. The legal system has much more room for improvement. India still has a long way to go to achieve social equality for transgender people, who face discrimination and economic despair due to their gender identity and expression. Efforts must be made to normalize their inclusion in the workplace and treat them like any other human being. Research and knowledge production are needed to improve market conditions for the transgender community to ensure their safety and well-being.
