Hands of beauty
Hirak Dey runs a beauty salon in Raipur city of Chhatttisgarh. As a transgender, running a business hasn't been easy for her but she is determined to make it a success. People have loved her work and her business is growing. She strongly believes that people are human beings first and everyone is entitled to equal opportunities.
Like her, Veena Sendre is a beautician and a successful one at that. Today her family has accepted her but it wasn't always like that. She believes families and parents must accept and love their children, irrespective of their sexuality.
Looking at what Hirak and Veena have achieved, the government needs to actively work towards providing opportunities to transgenders to empower them
