Sorry, sister

Parvathi, a BSc in nursing, worked at a hospital for five years. But due to covid, she makes ends meet by begging as jobs are impossible to come by
The pandemic has affected many people including transgender individuals. The lockdown stopped many of them from begging on the streets. But now that things are opening up, many transgender individuals are forced to come back to begging and sex work, when many want to get good jobs. Though quite a few have had professional training in various disciplines, they are left with no option but to beg because not many organisations are willing to employ them, they say.
