Sensitised staff.
All staff are trained on transgender rights, pronouns, mental health, safety and consent before they begin duty.
A safe, congenial atmosphere for all
Your rights at the Garima Greh.
The Garima Greh is anchored in the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2019 and the Ministry’s guidelines. Every resident is entitled to the protections below.
Right to identity
Every resident is addressed by their self-identified name, gender and pronouns — both in the home and in our records.
Protection from atrocities
We do not tolerate verbal abuse, physical harm, harassment or discrimination — by staff, fellow residents or visitors.
Privacy & confidentiality
Personal history, medical records and counselling notes are confidential — shared only with the resident’s consent.
Uniform house rules
The same rules apply to every resident — ensuring a congenial atmosphere where everyone is treated equally.
Access to legal aid
We help residents access free legal aid through NALSA panel lawyers and statutory protection officers wherever required.
Voice & grievance redressal
A clear grievance redressal mechanism — anonymous suggestion box, monthly house meetings and an escalation path to the Ministry.
Right to leave
Residents are not held against their will. Anyone wishing to leave is supported with transition planning and onward referrals.
Our promise
A congenial atmosphere — by design, not by accident.
We work continuously so that every resident experiences dignity in the smallest details — from the bed they sleep on to the way they are addressed.
B
Inclusive spaces.
Bathrooms, sleeping areas and shared spaces are designed and signposted to be safe for transgender residents.
C
Documented protocols.
Admission, daily routine, complaints, exits and emergencies all follow written protocols anchored to Ministry SOPs.
Facing harassment or unsafe at home?
Reach out — confidentially. We will guide you to the right kind of help.
