Transgender people have expressed joy and gratitude after getting homes as a gift from the government led by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
Some 20 members of the transgender community, also known as Hijra, have received rooms at Hatikumrul in Sirajganj on Friday as part of the government’s initiative to rehabilitate the homeless and landless people during the Mujib Barsho, the birth centenary of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
This was part of the rehabilitation campaign for the vulnerable people under the Asrayan Prokolpo’s second phase under which 3,715 families were provided shelters in 743 barracks at 36 upazilas in 21 districts during the ‘Mujib Year’.

LOD When Jerusalem-based entrepreneur Udi Marili went looking for a community to adopt an experimental apartment where six young men with developmental disabilities would live on their own for the first time, there was one place that stood out.
In many ways, Lod Garin Torani has always stood out, oftentimes controversially. A tight-knit group of hundreds of religious-Zionist families, the community has been praised by some for attempting to bolster the working class Jewish-Arab mixed city, but also criticized for failing to integrate into the wider urban fabric.
