| Description: | "What became apparent in the course of our study is that discrimination against sexuality minorities is embedded in both state and civil society. Any proposal for social change would have to take into account this complex reality. A greater respect for sexuality minorities as people would depend upon a variety of factors, including a change in gender relations and class relations. Change would also crucially hinge upon overturning the existing regime of sexuality that enforces its own hierarchies, (e.g. heterosexuality over homosexuality), exclusions (e.g. hijras as the excluded category) and oppressions. Despite the importance of social change, one still has to redress the ongoing human rights violations against sexuality minorities." |
