Climate change is real, impacting everyone around the world, and India remains at the forefront of its effects. Changing weather patterns cause food insecurity, hitting vulnerable communities the hardest.
The transgender community in particular suffers disproportionately, as their already limited access to resources worsens in times of crisis.
As India battles climate change, the struggle for survival and dignity intensifies for those most marginalized. In India, LGBTQ people, particularly the trans community, frequently face family conflict that leads to forced displacement that is often accompanied by violence or the threat of violence.
Many trans people, as a result, become homeless, frequently finding themselves in low-lying areas that are prone to frequent flooding, further exacerbating their vulnerability.
