Abstract

The article discusses the need of the transgender people, particularly in Asian countries, for state laws and policies that could protect their sexual and reproductive rights. It says that some laws often ignore the transgender people's needs and rights and some laws actively persecute transgender people like the sharia law in Malaysia. It presents long-term sustainable actions that the states, civil society, and donor agencies must take to promote, protect, and meet transgender people's rights.
