India\/Pahichan – The Lesbians, Gays, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) community in the city have got an opportunity to earn money independently.<\/p>\n

Transgenders and eunuchs associated with the Lakshya Trust will manufacture sanitary napkins. On the ‘Menstrual Hygiene Day’ on Saturday, the city-based Vatsalaya Foundation will launch a manufacturing unit to produce low-cost organic sanitary napkins.<\/p>\n

The napkins will be sold under the brand name of ‘Sakhi’ at the trust.\u00a0“It is an initiative to empower the marginalized community in a noble manner. Our volunteers have trained them in the manufacturing process,” said Swati Bedekar of Vatsalaya Foundation.<\/p>\n

“This is the first time that any institution has given us a work opportunity. Once we get expertise in the production process, we intend to train other transgenders from the city,” said Manvi Vaishnav, a member of the trust.<\/p>\n

“Usually, transgenders are forced to be sex workers or beggars. In Vadodara too, there is hardly any organization that hires people from the LGBT community,” said Ayesha Sheikh, a member of the trust.<\/div>\n
