Description
Beyond Binaries: Protecting the Human Rights of Transgender Children is a powerful and scholarly book that examines the lived realities, legal challenges, and human rights concerns of transgender children through a comprehensive legal and social lens. Going beyond academic discussion, the book presents a deeply compassionate call for dignity, equality, and justice.
Authored by Dr. Inderjeet Singh Bhati and Professor (Dr.) Angelo Viglianisi Ferraro, the book explores the systemic discrimination faced by transgender children within families, schools, healthcare systems, and legal frameworks—often at a stage of life when protection and acceptance are most critical.
Drawing on Indian constitutional law, landmark Supreme Court judgments including NALSA v. Union of India, international human rights instruments such as the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Yogyakarta Principles, as well as comparative global practices, the book offers an in-depth and balanced analysis of gender identity, childhood, and state responsibility.
The chapters integrate legal reasoning with psychological insights and social realities, providing practical policy recommendations for education reform, healthcare access, child protection mechanisms, and institutional accountability. The book serves both as an authoritative academic reference and a compelling moral appeal for inclusive and rights-based governance.
