Transgenders, who are striving hard to find a place in mainstream society, will soon turn entrepreneurs in Kerala with the launch of a taxi service which will be owned and operated by them, a first in the state.
After unveiling the first Transgender Policy in the country with an aim to end societal stigma towards the Transgender (TG) community, the state government is now getting ready to launch 'Gender Taxi', owned and operated by transgenders.
The objective of 'G-Taxi' programme is to provide a better means for livelihood for the minority group and to ensure them non-discriminatory treatment in society.
The state-run Gender Park, under the Department of SocialJustice, has drawn up a programme to roll out G-Taxi on the model of its successful all-women cab network She-Taxi.
