    The Women Empowerment Program facilitated the placement of the first transwoman in a government job on a contract basis in 2005 within the Government of Tamil Nadu. This milestone paved the way for subsequent placements of several transwomen in government positions. Additionally, over the past two years, the program has successfully assisted nearly 45 women with disabilities in securing employment opportunities in the private sector. These efforts reflect the program's commitment to promoting inclusivity and creating equal employment opportunities for marginalized groups in society.
