The transgender people of Manipur, known as Nupi Maanbi, have had a colourful history - from being accepted in society to being ostracised to now finally finding their own voices. It holds much relevance today as those of the third gender in the State and the nation overall continue to be silenced by society out of shame for their natural identity.
Transgender Day of Visibility: The symbolic event “Emagi Phanek”, which aims to retrieve the kinship of Manipur indigenous women and Nupi Maanbis, was held at the All Manipur Nupi Maanbi Association (AMNMA), Solidarity and Action Against The HIV Infection in India (SAATHII) and Empowering Trans Ability (ETA) office in New Checkon, Imphal East.
