Abstract

Understanding the nature and extent of third-gender victimization is crucial for effective addressing, influenced by various social, cultural, and political factors. This study aims to identify the victimization experienced by third genders in Tangail Municipal Area and to find out the causes, consequences, and preventive policies to overcome it. A quantitative approach was used, and data was collected through a survey questionnaire using snowball sampling. Results showed that 53% of the respondents were hijra, 14% were transgenders, and 33% were lady boys. The study found that 87.3% of respondents experienced physical assault, while 10.8% reported being raped, with 80.6% of cases perpetrated by neighbors. All respondents experienced psychological abuse, while 96.4% faced social stigmatization and 98.2% faced discrimination of violence and harassment. The consequences of victimization among third genders impact their mental and physical health, social life, and daily activities. Effective policies and intervention programs are needed to prevent the victimization of third genders.
