Abstract
The property rights of
transgender people living in Patuakhali are the subject of this study. Locally,
the term transgender is popularly known as ‘Hijra’ at Patuakhali in Bangladesh.
They are severely deprived of their property rights. Many times, they are destitute
of their property rights only because of their gender issues and their families.
The purpose of this research is to uncover an inconsistency in the management
of rights to property and its distribution among
transgender and ordinary people. Usually, they are homeless and marginalized
people in the Patuakhali district. This study has observed that they are living
roughly and always these groups of people are getting underprivileged/deprived of
their human rights. The current reality of the hijras regarding property rights
are still unpublished. They are still living in isolated groups in Patuakhali
district. They have been a fundamental part of Patuakhali society since ancient
times. The negative attitude of the people towards them has alienated them from
the society. Due to the negative attitude of the society, the hijras are
neglected and deprived of all their rights. One of the noticeable issues is the
tendency to deny the hijras of their property. The main object of this article
is to highlight that how inconsistent as well as unlawful the right to property
of the transgender people is in Bangladesh's Patuakhali district.
