Members of the trans and queer community in Goa gathered at Azad Maidan, Panaji, on Sunday evening to protest the proposed Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Amendment Bill, 2026. Participants voiced concerns that the changes could affect the right to self-identify and introduce stricter processes for recognition. They also highlighted broader issues related to equality, dignity, and civil liberties. The protest emphasised the community’s demand for rights and safeguards, ensuring that any legislative amendments do not undermine their autonomy or basic freedoms.
