Imphal, April 18 2021:
With the support of the Social Welfare Department, Blessing Givers organised a one-day seminar on "Protection of Transgenders' Rights" at Classic Grande, Chingmeirong on Saturday.
The programme was graced by Chairperson of Manipur State Commission for Women (MSCW) Professor Dr Binota Meinam as chief guest; advocate of Nupi-Manbi Rights Santa Khurai as guest of honour and Blessing Givers advisor Richest Bem as functional president.
At the event, Dr Binota Meinam maintained that rules have been framed to protect the rights of transgender persons and provide them with welfare schemes.
She then urged transgender persons to take benefits of the welfare schemes and rights meant for them.
She also said that crimes against women and children could be checked only through mutual respect and understanding.
Like trans women, a trans man can now fight for their rights at the Court, she added.
