Transgender will now be included as separate gender category in prison statistics

The Central Government on Monday informed the Delhi High Court that transgenders shall be now included as a separate gender category in prison statistics reports. This comes after a public suit was filed in the Delhi High Court seeking a direction to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) to recognize and classify transgenders as a separate third gender in their annual publication of prison statistics.
