She examined the judiciary’s role in advancing substantive equality, showing how Article 14 has evolved to require positive obligations on the State to secure the social rights of historically marginalized groups, forming a new bridge between the directive principles and fundamental rights.

Today, we honour and remember the transgender and gender-diverse persons whose lives have been lost to violence and discrimination. This day reminds us of the urgent need to ensure safety, dignity, and equality for all trans people.

For over a decade, CLPR has worked to advance transgender rights through rigorous research, strategic litigation, and sustained advocacy. Our ‘Trans Law Cell’, a first-of-its-kind initiative, provides free legal assistance and guidance to help transgender persons better understand and claim their rights.

Our work is driven by the stories, resilience, and courage of the communities we serve. As we remember those we have lost, we reaffirm our commitment to building a more just, inclusive, and equal society for all.

If you are a trans person seeking support, assistance, or legal resources, please reach out to us at contact@clpr.org.in
