Discrimination which persists across many aspects of life, including their family acceptance, mental and physical healthcare, education and employment. This paper tries to address the harassment and the biases that they face in workplace and the educational barriers and intersectionality, and the current legal provisions are not sufficient to dismantle the deeply embedded social biases.
