As a human when we come to the world, we often make out by gender – male or female, and that is the way the society accepted it. The modern society is engulfed both male and female to flourish – socially, economically, financially and emotionally.
It may be developed countries or
developing countries amalgamation of gender giving equal rights pave the
prosperity of the nation but when we are talking about “Trans” is often used as
transgender, somewhere down the line the society or as we difficult to accept
them. Even ponder how they can be in
tune with ours and to welcome in social life is a bit skeptical!
Can we imagine or even a single
thought about transgender, how they can be joined in the mainstream to make the
best use of skills in them and to transform a civilized person to make a better
society to live in? They are humans too,
we should welcome them with an open heart.
Well, can they contribute to
society or the nation as a whole? Yes,
if they have given the opportunity, they can do wonder!
The Noida Metro Rail
Corporation (NMRC) has come out with a decisive plan and dedicated the
Sector-50 Metro Station on the Aqua Line to the transgender. It has also annunciated to recruit people
only from the trans community with the core objective to provide special
facilities and employment opportunities for this community. Generally, this step is taken to provide the realistic
touch and meaningful participation of the members of the transgender community.
NMRC has underlined that this step
has been inspired by the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Bill,
2019.
The station for Transgender
Community will be open for all passengers but it caters especially to the
members of this community.
Obviously, a great initiative. It will change people’s mindset. Everyone deserves respect in society and thus
they also be entitled to live a respectable life. Why are ‘Trans’ not doing study and job? Our responsibility is also to encourage and
give opportunities to them.
The NMRC has obvious reason by
recruiting transgender community to bring an initiative:
Fruitful engagement – To bring fruitful engagement of the transgender community they should include with the functioning system of various aspects like ticket counters, housekeeping and other areas. For this, they will give a proper training before inducted into the NMRC system.
Creating Awareness – To
generate awareness about this community among other commuters will be through signages, which will be placed at stations and announcements
inside the trains and stations. It is a welcome
approach to commuters.
Sensitizing – Special care to be taken for sensitizing and trained to communicate with the trans community in a welcome and cordial manner.
NMRC does a splendid work for this
community and to facilitate the transgenders the required upgradations will be soon
in the process such as toilet facilities at the station.
Basically, this station is targeted
women-friendly and have the requisite facilities such as changing room,
baby-feeding room and diaper-changing facilities.
A great move and lively
thought and
the transgender community get a chance to connect with mainstream sections of
society. It is out of place to mention
that everyone’s contribution is equally important for a better future.
NMRC has already
renamed the station as ‘She-Man’ to facilitate the transgender community.
It is absolutely a welcome move by
NMRC to merge them in society and live like common people by giving an opportunity
to transgender to earn bread with respect.
Who knows with their creative minds and good thoughts, we as a whole
forge ahead to create a better society?
The Government should come forward
and must provide more opportunities to them in different sectors so that
‘Trans’ should be independent and thus they get reprieved from their old-
fashioned begging.
We cannot blame God by looking at them
separately. We should welcome with an open
heart and accepted in the family & in the society also.
The problem is our thinking. It is the time to change society and we
should be more opening up and encourage them to employ with all of us.
After all, everyone has the right
to live their life freely and with respect & honour in this beautiful
universe created by Almighty God.
NMRC is the first metro station in
North India that has been dedicated to transgenders.
No doubt, we are moving with a new vision and the inclusive society evidently give us an equal opportunity.
