Residents in Allahabad today protested decriminalisation of gay sex.

On July 2, 2009, the Delhi High Court struck down Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), calling it a violation of an individual's rights to freedom under Articles 14, 15 and 21 of the Constitution in cases dealing with gay sex.

Local residents claimed that it does not represent the Indian culture.The protestors also included women.

GRADATION - installation for The Trans Day of Remembrance

GRADATION is a collaborative installation of Women's Initiatives Supporting Group (WISG) and artist Uta Bekaia, supported by Propaganda.network. The voices and video images used in the installation belong to Transfeminist activists and our sisters - Amanda, Gabi, Nata, Tako. All of us are united by the grief that will forever remind us about our Trans sisters killed in the recent years, but we are also united by the same goal - to achieve living in a country and in the society free from Transphobia! #TDOR
