Gender in Media Forum has requested the Election Commission (EC) to take necessary steps for ensuring the voting rights for hijras who generally face problem in casting vote because of non-cooperation by other people concerned.
In a statement Saturday, it said hijras face problem in casting vote, as there is no separate line in the polling centres for them. Hijras are not allowed by other voters to stand in their queues at polling centres, it added.
It said sometimes they are being humiliated or neglected by male or female voters when they stand in their queues.
