I - LEGAL UPDATES

POSH

The UGC has consistently reinforced the need for compliance with these guidelines, emphasizing gender inclusivity, non-discrimination, and the prevention of sexual harassment.

It is necessary for the adjudicatory authority to explore the antecedents and backdrop of such usage of certain words and phrases that are deemed derogatory

It grants them rights to community
living, access to information,
confidentiality, and personal
communication, while also ensuring
affordable mental healthcare options.

II - EXPLORING INTERSECTIONS

Bi-erasure and biphobia are
significant obstacles facing bisexual
people today. These issues can lead
to feelings of isolation, stigma, and
even violence.

This intersection of identities creates
a complex and multifaceted
experience for queer folx in India and
highlights the importance of radical
self-love and anti-oppressive
relationships.

The purpose of this article is to
empower the reader by providing a
frame to sort through what emotions
may be emerging and identify and
name what one is feeling.
