Transgender Woman Tasnuva Annan Shishir and Nusrat Mau | International Women's Day (March 8) 2021
> Boishakhi Television has taken a special initiative ahead of International Women's Day (March 8). For the first time in 50 years of independence, transgender woman Tasnuva Annan Shishir will read the news on television. Also on the same day, another transgender woman, Nusrat Mauke, will be seen in a drama role. This fact proves that we are changing, we want to change.
> Although there are many achievements to be proud of in the 50 years of independence, it has not been possible to ensure a secure life for all without discrimination. Because of this failure, transgender people are one of the most neglected people in our society.
>The government led by Bangabandhu's daughter Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has taken various initiatives to establish the dignity and rights of these neglected citizens. They now have the right to register as transgender people, not as women or men. The government is also giving allowances to a large number of transgender people.
This step is undoubtedly commendable, many thanks to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, whose direct action will witness such a rare event in Bangladesh, in this way she will restore the rights of independent citizens of an independent country.
> Transgender people are one of the biggest neglected populations in the country, whom we know as "transgender" or "third gender".
