Not only has the current situation exacerbated the stigma, health issues, and lack of opportunities and access they generally face, but the lack of adequate relief and support from the state has also left them in the lurch. While people like Swetha are trying to do all they can for the transgender community and even others, the community continues to struggle to find sustenance. “There is no point in saving money if you are not using it to help others.” Transgender community continues to struggle She adds that she has always loved social work, and has wanted to help people. Even the people who earlier made fun of me and mistreated me, respect me now and welcome me with folded hands since I helped them.”

Swetha hopes that this will help in changing people’s attitudes towards the transgender community. Swetha is also supporting 36 HIV positive patients by providing food and financial support. Apart from Chennai, the organisation has also assisted people in the districts of Virushnagar, Kovilpatti, Trichy, Pudukottai, Karaikal and the neighbouring union territory of Puducherry. Swetha says that through various ventures, Born2Win has been able to help around 3,000 people across Tamil Nadu so far. "People are very supportive, and some were even surprised to see the transgender community involved in social work, even during these trying times." The plays are getting really good responses, she added. “Since July was the month of Aadi, we dressed up as goddess Amman and spoke like her to promote precautionary measures.” We conduct general street plays with masks and sanitisers as properties of the play," said Swetha. We also conduct a dance programme for songs that talk about similar things.
