The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has issued Advisory 2.0 to States and Union Territories for the welfare of transgender persons, covering ten key areas.
- Separate categories such as 'Intersex', 'Transmen' and 'Transwomen' in the upcoming Census and national surveys.
- Review of laws like the Registration of Births and Deaths Act and Juvenile Justice Act to recognise self-identified gender.
- Equal inheritance, housing and property rights; SOPs for police and prisons.
- Legal aid cells and helplines; school admission on self-identified gender without medical proof.
- Ban on coercive medical procedures on intersex children except to save life; inclusive workplaces and old-age homes.
