Many transgender people have experienced sexual violence simply because they identify as transgender. Their gender identity often makes them more vulnerable to discrimination, harassment, abuse, and exploitation.

Due to widespread stigma, prejudice, and a lack of legal and social protection, transgender individuals are disproportionately at risk of sexual violence in their homes, schools, workplaces, public spaces, and healthcare settings. No one should ever face violence because of who they are or how they identify, and every transgender person deserves to live with dignity, safety, and equal rights.

धेरै ट्रान्स व्यक्तिहरूले आफूलाई ट्रान्स भनेर पहिचान गरेकै कारण यौन हिंसा भोग्नुपरेको छ। उनीहरूको लैङ्गिक पहिचानकै आधारमा उनीहरू विभेद, दुर्व्यवहार, उत्पीडन र शोषणको उच्च जोखिममा पर्छन्।

समाजमा विद्यमान कलंक, पूर्वाग्रह तथा पर्याप्त कानुनी र सामाजिक संरक्षणको अभावका कारण ट्रान्स व्यक्तिहरू घर, विद्यालय, कार्यस्थल, सार्वजनिक स्थान तथा स्वास्थ्य सेवा लिने क्रममा समेत यौन हिंसाको जोखिममा पर्ने गरेका छन्। कुनै पनि व्यक्तिले आफ्नो पहिचानकै कारण हिंसा सहनु पर्दैन, र प्रत्येक ट्रान्स व्यक्तिले सम्मान, सुरक्षा तथा समान अधिकारसहित बाँच्न पाउने अधिकार राख्छ।

For LBT people, family is the greatest source of strength in living openly and proudly with their gender identity and sexual orientation.

Acceptance, love, and support from family build confidence, dignity, and better mental health. But when families fail to understand or accept their children, the emotional impact can be profound.

Every person deserves to be loved, accepted, and celebrated for who they are.

LBT व्यक्तिहरूले आफ्नो लैङ्गिक पहिचान र यौनिक अभिमुखीकरणसहित खुला रूपमा, सुरक्षित रूपमा र गर्वका साथ बाँच्नका लागि सबैभन्दा ठूलो साथ परिवारको हुन्छ।

परिवारको स्वीकार्यता र माया नै उनीहरूको आत्मविश्वास, सम्मान र मानसिक स्वास्थ्यको आधार हो। तर, जब परिवारले आफ्ना सन्तानलाई बुझ्न वा स्वीकार गर्न सक्दैन, त्यसको असर उनीहरूको मानसिक स्वास्थ्यमा गम्भीर रूपमा पर्न सक्छ।

हरेक सन्तानलाई उनी जस्तो छन्, त्यही रूपमा स्वीकारौं, माया गरौं र साथ दिऔं।

A historic milestone for menstrual justice and inclusion! 🌈🩸

Unity for Change (UFC) proudly hosted Nepal’s First National Symposium on Trans Menstruation, bringing together government representatives, development partners, health professionals, activists, researchers, media, and community members to advance menstrual dignity for trans men and gender-diverse people.

Chaired by UFC President Mr. Sudip Gautam, we were deeply honored by the presence of our Chief Guest, Hon. MP Bhumika Shrestha and our Special Guests, Mr. Badri Khatri, Joint Secretary at the Ministry of Women, Children, Gender and S*xual Minorities and Social Security, and Ms. Radha Paudel, Founder, Radha Paudel Foundation and Global South Coalition for Dignified Menstruation, whose inspiring remarks reinforced the importance of inclusive policies, equitable healthcare, and menstrual dignity for all.

The symposium marked an important step toward amplifying community voices, sharing groundbreaking evidence on trans menstruation, and advancing collective recommendations to strengthen inclusive menstrual health and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) in Nepal.

Together, we are breaking stigma, fostering dialogue, and ensuring that menstrual dignity is a human right for everyone who menstruates.

Thank you to our presenters, panelists, provincial community representatives, and all participants for making this convening meaningful!

TransRights

Many LBT (Le***an, Bisexual, and Transman) individuals face rejection and exclusion from their families and society because of their gender identity and sexuality.

It is important for families to understand and respect their children's feelings, needs, and identities. When families provide support and acceptance, LBT individuals can live openly, safely, and with dignity as their authentic selves.

धेरै LBT (Le***an, Bisexual र Transman) व्यक्तिहरूले आफ्नो लैङ्गिक पहिचान र यौनिकताका कारण परिवार र समाजबाट अस्वीकार तथा बहिष्कारको सामना गर्नुपरेको छ। परिवारले आफ्ना सन्तानका भावना, आवश्यकता र पहिचानलाई बुझ्न र सम्मान गर्न जरुरी छ। जब परिवारको साथ र स्वीकार्यता हुन्छ, तब LBT व्यक्तिहरूले पनि आफ्नो वास्तविक पहिचान सहित खुला, सुरक्षित र सम्मानित जीवन बाँच्न सक्छन्।
