Hello all,
The Centre for Internet and Society India is hosting a convening on the rights of transgender persons, specifically right to privacy and digital rights. Through this convening, we hope to highlight the concerns of transgender persons in accessing digital data systems and the privacy challenges faced by the community. These challenges include access to their rights --- their right to self-identify their gender and access welfare services offered by the State and the privacy challenges faced by transgender persons in revealing their identity.
We will have two panels. The first panel, "Explainer on technology laws, policies and transgender realities" will focus on the various facets of technology laws and policies and their impact on the transgender community. The second panel, "Lost in Translation", will focus on the gaps in technology laws and policies in addressing the challenges faced by transgender persons.
The convening will be conducted online on 21st December, 2021 from 3:00pm to 6:30pm IST (9.30am to 1pm UTC).
