Abstract
Transgender people (Hijra) in
Bangladesh lack proper human and
civil rights. Poverty and exclusion
from the minimum daily necessities
like healthcare, housing, and work
are a reality for them. However, many
transgender people live in
Bangladesh when the government,
NGOs, and social organizations lack
adequate policy and strategic implementation
to eradicate the socio-economic
upheaval of transgender
people. The Government of
Bangladesh has passed a protection
act for the rights and welfare of
transgender people, which has limited
implications. Social inclusion in
the Bangladeshi community is a significant
challenge for transgender
people. From this reality, this study
aims to investigate the case of
transgender people in Bangladesh
by discussing the “Social Alienation
Theory” of Karl Marx.
