The lived experiences of trans persons reveal how these spaces leave them highly vulnerable, marginalised, and\/ or outright excluded. In this context, we hope that a panel discussion would help us move towards trying to think about the structural reforms that these legal spaces would need to make them more survivable for trans individuals.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n About the Panelists:<\/strong><\/p>\n \n \n \n \n About the Moderator:<\/strong><\/p>\n Kanmani Ray: <\/strong>She is currently a Research Associate at the Centre for Justice, Law and Society, Jindal Global University and interested in working around issues of health, access to education, public transport & housing in the context of gender & sexual minorities, and hopes to teach while practicing law.<\/p>\n Date: <\/strong>28th<\/sup> November 2021<\/p>\n Time: <\/strong>2:00 \u2013 3:30 P.M.<\/p>\n Register <\/strong>here<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n
