Several participants at the ‘3rd National Trans Employment Mela’ in Delhi on Wednesday said they had suffered harassment at their previous offices and that they were hoping to secure employment at a place where they are allowed to work without fear of discrimination or prejudice.

The job fair, organised by the Union Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment with two private entities, aims to introduce transgender persons and non-binary individuals to firms that are sensitised to the infrastructural requirements and policies related to transgender people.
