Complexities of Discrimination | The Impact Post
Issue #40 | Fri, Mar 29, 2024
Dear NuSocia Patrons,
Discrimination remains a pervasive issue in societies worldwide, affecting individuals based on factors such as race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, disability, and more. It is imperative that we continue to address and challenge discriminatory attitudes and behaviors wherever they arise.
Recognizing the intersecting nature of discrimination is essential. Individuals often face multiple forms of discrimination simultaneously, compounding the challenges they encounter. By addressing intersecting identities and experiences, we can develop more comprehensive strategies for combating discrimination.
Building a Transgender Inclusive India
Unconscious biases can influence decision-making processes and perpetuate discriminatory outcomes. Despite legal recognition and increased visibility in recent years, individuals identifying as transgender, hijra, or other non-binary identities continue to encounter systemic barriers and prejudice in various aspects of their lives, including education, employment, healthcare, and social acceptance.
How can we confront this discrimination and build a inclusive India?
Mainstreaming Children with Disabilities
Education is often referred to as the great equalizer, and for good reason. It has the power to uplift, empower, and transform lives, regardless of background or ability. When it comes to children with disabilities, education takes on an even more profound significance.
The NEP 2020 intends to integrate and support children with disabilities but is India ready to mainstream children with disabilities in its education system?
Why Can't We All Go To Toilets Peacefully?
Access to toilets may not be a glamorous topic, but it’s undeniably crucial.

Yet, despite efforts to improve sanitation, discrimination in toilet access remains a significant issue in India.
Our latest blog sheds light on this issue and explores how addressing it is a crucial aspect of inclusivity.
