TransEnd

Founded in 2018, TransEnd has now grown to become Bangladesh’s largest youth-led non-profit organization solely working for the social and economic liberation of the grassroots hijra, koti, transgender, intersex, and non-binary folks. We are empowering the community through education, training, healthcare, employment & entrepreneurship. Building awareness, allyship, and sensitivity is the core part of our work. We reached 545000+ people through sensitization programs, skill-development workshops, and awareness-building campaigns. Over 335 marginalized hijra people were trained in different subjects e.g English language, cycling, handicrafts, communication, and digital literacy. Over 173 trans people have joined in mainstream jobs scoped by TransEnd. During the Covid-19 pandemic, TransEnd initiated a fund-raising campaign through which we provided more than 2500 jobless gender-diverse people with food, blankets, and hygiene items to tackle the pandemic and survive winter. For TransEnd’s outstanding work, we received several national and international awards and recognitions. We were selected as Ashoka Young Changemakers, Peace First Fellowship, WIL Inspiring Women Award, Diana Award, Joy Bangla Youth Award etc. We have graduated from YY Goshti Incubation Program, YGap Acceleration Program, won UNDP Digital Khichuri Challenge and become a national champion of EO GSEA 2022.
