Transgender Act was introduced in which year?

The introduction of laws related to transgender rights represents a significant step toward social justice and equality. In many societies, transgender individuals have historically faced discrimination, social exclusion, and a lack of legal recognition. As awareness of human rights expanded globally, governments began to recognize the need for legislation that protects the dignity and rights of transgender persons. The Transgender Act emerged as part of this broader movement to ensure inclusion and legal protection.

Before the introduction of this law, transgender communities often struggled with issues such as identity recognition, access to education, healthcare, employment, and protection from harassment. The absence of a clear legal framework made it difficult for transgender individuals to claim their basic rights. This situation highlighted the urgent need for formal legislation that would define legal status and safeguard social and economic rights.
