Transgender Persons from UP Invited to Republic Day

Four transgender women from Uttar Pradesh, Ekta, Deepika, Heer, and Ladoo, have been invited to attend the Republic Day ceremony in Delhi as special guests.

They are part of a group of 10,000 special guests who will be honored for their contributions to the nation.

These four women are associated with the Garima Grih shelter home in Gorakhpur, which provides shelter, food, medical care, and support for skill development to destitute transgender persons.

Ekta, the director of the shelter home, founded an organization to give an identity to transgender individuals based on their abilities.

Heer, a make-up artist, dreams of becoming a lawyer to represent her community.

Ladoo works with a welfare initiative, and Deepika is a make-up artist.

Despite their achievements, none of them have been accepted by their families.

They hope that their invitation to the Republic Day ceremony will bring recognition and acceptance to their community.
