The transgender community in UP has come forward to support the plight of migrant workers and labourers by donating food to over a hundred such underprivileged, every day. A group of 50 people are collecting food for the needy in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh. The history of the transgender community in India has certainly been tumultuous, often stigmatised and shunned. However, they have proven to us that in times of despair how important it is to come forward for humanitarian acts that can aid the lesser fortunate.

Many families have been brutally affected by the pandemic that coronavirus is and since these daily wage workers depend directly on their day to day earnings for food and shelter, the Indian transgender community wants to be able to help them in such trying times.
