Sexual and gender minorities in India have been victims of homelessness and poverty post­independence. Studies have shown that these factors have often found the transgender persons in a state of marginalization and also become subjects of Crime. The Indian government post the Transgender Persons’ (Protec­tion of Rights) Act, 2019 has established shelter homes for providing skill and livelihood opportunities to the transgender persons for a short term. This study delves into the working model of the Garima Greh of Rajasthan. The transgender persons find these shelter homes safe, learning space and a second innings to their lives. Such establishments have helped the community members to come out of homelessness and acquire skills for leading a better life ahead. Despite of becoming a success from the inception year itself, it has been studied that these homes are struggling due to lack of regular financial and administrative support by the government.

This study examines the difficulties that impede society, particularly the private sector, from considering individuals with disabilities as problem solvers instead of rights holders. It investigates whether it is feasible to require the commercial sector to set aside a particular proportion of jobs for people with disabilities and whether doing so would mean moving away from the existing Human rights model and back toward the charity model. It also attempts to expand the scope of discussion about the rights of the PwDs to connect to a larger debate about their place in society. It identifies gaps that have prevented the private sector from realizing the same. It further maps the progress in International Jurisdiction to understand what India needs to better realize all human rights by people with disabilities. Additionally, it also attempts to understand the contemporary international perspective of some countries regarding the issue to draw upon what kind of politics and initiatives create and reflect a positive change to the situation regarding employment rates of persons with disabilities. This analysis has then helped to develop a few solutions on how the situation can be better using schemes from other countries in the Indian context. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
