Kerala Pioneers Landmark Housing Scheme for Transgender Community
In a significant stride towards social inclusivity, the Kerala government is set to launch a pioneering special housing scheme for transgender individuals. This initiative aims to address the critical need for dignified shelter, offering multiple options including interest-free loans for those without land and financial aid for construction. The scheme, launching during the ‘Varnapakittu Transgender Arts Festival’ in Kozhikode, reinforces Kerala’s commitment to empowering one of the country’s most marginalized communities, building on past efforts in healthcare and employment.
