She suggested identifying themselves in the society. \u201cIn the first Constituent Assembly, there was representation of this community but there was zero representation in second CA,\u201d said Ansari. \u201cWhy sexual orientation has been removed from constitution?\u00a0 She asked.<\/p>\n

Secretary at Commission Bedprasad Bhattarai said there has been progress towards ensuring the rights of gender and sexual minority. He said if gender and sexual minority terms are removed intentionally, there will be correction.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe discrimination against homosexual, transgender and intersex and unlawful detention is against human right,\u201d said Bhattarai. According to him, they are recruiting trainee staffs from homosexual and transgender community. Public Relation Office Basudev Bagagai though they have heard of discrimination and violence, commission has not received any complaints.<\/p>\n

\"Aayog<\/a>Executive Director of Blue Diamond Society, Manisha Dhakal said commission has a vital role to play for the implementation of rights enshrined in new constitution. \u201cThe role and responsibility of state will not be fulfilled passports and citizenship under O category. The state should bring policy and program to make this community capable in terms of economic income,\u201d said Dhakal. Dhakal said a report regarding legalizing same-sex marriage is gathering dust.\u00a0 Commission should take lead to forward commission to Legal Ministry and start the process of law-making, Dhakal said. Transgender rights activist Bhumika Shrestha said police is taking detention to the members of this community while walking in the street without any reasons.<\/p>\n

Another transgender rights activist Bhakti Shah said in 2015, 36 members of this community faced violence. Shah said though commission receives complaints it would not take action to anyone. Legal Advisor Prem Bahadur Thapa said the role of National Human Rights Commission is vital one for the implementation of rights mentioned in the constitution.<\/p>\n

According to Thapa, commission removed gender and sexual minority from its strategic planning. He asked why this has been removed from planning. Transgender Anusha Lama said she is denied from higher education due to their transgender identity.<\/p>\n

\u201cI did not get chance to study, family expelled me, I am compelled to adopt sex provision to survive myself,\u201d Lama said. Lama said though she lodged complaints at NHRC, the issue has not been addressed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
