The TransForm conference brings together activists, academics, lawyers, policymakers, students and civil society members.

With the COVID pandemic amplifying existing inequalities and barriers that transgender persons face in access to justice, healthcare, housing, food security and protection of rights, we need to re-evaluate what it means to be equal. In this conference, we aim to discuss the specific vulnerabilities of the trans community in India and globally, both during and post the pandemic, and chart ways to address them.
