 What started as a 84 long-hour lockdown in Jammu and Kashmir on April 29th has now been extended up to May 10th in five major districts. This keeping in view a sharp rise in the COVID-19 cases in the second wave of the pandemic. Now the vaccination drive has started across the country, but for extremely marginalized communities like the transgender community, access to health interventions in the pandemic times comes with many barriers. The transgender community is already a marginalized and vulnerable section of the population. In the current COVID crisis, it stands completely neglected and alone without any support extended by the state administration. The reason for this is that we do not accept them socially, we do not recognize them in the society, so that is why every crisis, whether it is a normal life or anything, is a sideline. When we talk about well-being in society, it is necessary to be collective well-being, so it is not that we should vaccinate a gender category and ignore it. Dr. Ajaz Ahmad Bandh is a social worker who runs an NGO, Sonzal Welfare Trust, that works for the welfare and rights of the queer community in Kashmir. He pointed out for something as simple as downloading a COVID app would mean that the transgender community members need to have a smartphone, many of whom cannot afford it. I have a smartphone in my hand and I can access it, but most of the members have been disowned by their families and in such a situation, their existence is confined from hand to mouth. If there is nothing to eat in such a situation, we cannot even think of a smartphone, so how can we register it? If there is a phone, we cannot access it because the school has been dropped out, the maximum number of people in the community is almost 99% of the school dropouts. This complicated process is not accessible for them. So it should be a very simple procedure for them. The community-based centers, health intervention centers, go there freely without remaining in queue. They should have been given priority, but unfortunately that did not happen. The appeal is that the government has come because you know that the third-gen people here are almost 99% uneducated. Many people do not even know about the vaccine. They do not even know that they are going to get vaccinated. So the government should appeal that they should not come to their homes, but the government should come and get vaccinated. The third-gen should pay attention to the whole government, like a man, like a woman should pay attention to the third-gen as well. Just like in the other states.
