Views of Transgender Persons & Hijras Associated with The Global Fund Program, in India
The authors, working for Pehchan, conducted a series of interviews with their colleagues to understand the impact of programming and funds provided by the Global Fund on transgender people in India. The interviews, either in local language or English, were done through a structured questionnaire that focused on four main components: personal history, trans scenario in India, Global Fund Program experiences, and specific recommendations for future interventions.
The report is based on interviews of transgender persons and hijras across India who worked with or clients of Pehchan, and it captures the human stories explaining personal struggles in claiming of identity.
