Second wave of the pandemic is raging through South Asia. Transgender/Hijra/Koti communities in Bangladesh have lost employment, living in isolation, many are homeless since they are unable to pay rent. 

Trans/Hijra/Koti community are facing severe isolation. Many have lost employment  in beauty parlors, entertainment and service sector owing to the second wave and lockdowns in Dhaka.
