Abstract

Transgender people (Hijra) in Bangladesh lack proper human and civil rights. Poverty and exclusion from the minimum daily necessities like healthcare, housing, and work are a reality for them. However, many transgender people live in Bangladesh when the government, NGOs, and social organizations lack adequate policy and strategic implementation to eradicate the socio-economic upheaval of transgender people. The Government of Bangladesh has passed a protection act for the rights and welfare of transgender people, which has limited implications. Social inclusion in the Bangladeshi community is a significant challenge for transgender people. From this reality, this study aims to investigate the case of transgender people in Bangladesh by discussing the “Social Alienation Theory” of Karl Marx.
