The Chairperson of the Haryana Commission for Protection of Child Rights (HCPCR), Jyoti Bainda, has written to the state Chief Minister (CM) for the constitution of a welfare board for the transgenders in the state.
The commission faces the lack of legal framework in various areas pertaining to transgenders, including the adoption of children by them.
The commission has come across various instances where transgenders have adopted children, though there is no legal provision for this. Bainda was of the opinion that the need for the constitution of a welfare board was incumbent to ensure societal acceptance and dignity for the transgenders in Society.
