violence, physical and emotional harm, social and political marginalization, and
unemployment. To observe clearer picture human development model of Mahbub ul
Haq, capability theory of Amartya Sen, and recognition theory of Charles Taylor

(scholarly articles) and news articles used as secondary data resources. To interpret
the gathered data, the human rights framework is employed to conduct a conceptual
analysis focused on various laws impacting the transgender community in the

the circumstances of the transgender community from both a human rights
perspective and a human development approach, highlighting the critical role of
freedom issues in any developmental progress. Additionally, it involves assessing the
