Bangladesh’s recognition of the hijra community as “third gender” is one performative policy.

Learning about gender rights, intersectionality and equality is an important part of education

The Election Commission begins adding the "Hijra" in the gender identity section of voters' list as a mark of recognition to their right as the citizens of Bangladesh.

A person (Hijra) has been shot in an attack by his rivals in Dhaka’s Uttara area this morning.

Imagine a life of never fitting in, of constant ridicules and derisions, of being shunned by your own family, of being denied jobs and a chance at a “comfortable” life, of being harassed and assaulted, often sexually, because of who you are.

Bangladesh's hijra community voices outrage Thursday after nearly all those appointed to government jobs set aside for transgenders are disqualified after an official medical test deemed them fully male.

Hijras, differently abled persons, and ethnic groups of Bangladesh will receive bank loans for setting up their own business from now on.

The government is considering bringing Hijras or transgender community into society by offering them different service oriented jobs including the police service.
