Our Pandemic Struggle

During the pandemic phase, struggle of transgenders and sex workers was not different than the common man but much more severe comparatively. The suffering were added with dying family members, economic crisis, no food, no clients ….no societal help not even government aid. this part of society was completely neglected. Shreegauri Sawant as a part of this society was not able to tolerate this…she prepared a small video of their struggling life and sent it to the Chief Minister and Women and Child Department requesting them for help. The biggest challenge was that our sisters had no ID proof to get their vaccination done. We had to organize a separate vaccination camp and medical camp for them, we requested the funders for dry groceries… we provided them with basic livelihoods like food, clothes, medicines, sanitary napkins etc. Our Motherland has already celebrated her 75 year of Independence but still her daughters are dependent.
