Abstract

Throughout history, the mainstream perspective has traditionally acknowledged and counted only three genders: namely, men, women and intersex. The gender which fall out of the binary norms fall under a separate category i.e. “Third gender”, the intersex individuals fall under the category of “Third Gender”. This study will be focusing on the Intersex individuals who fall below poverty line, where we tried to cover their awareness about their laws, rights and their views on mental health. It is seen that even though the government has made some policies still there is lack of awareness about their legal rights. The population covered in this study were chosen from state Uttraknand, India. This study aims to present the perspectives of intersex individuals concerning both government policies and mental health, which later on can be used to plan better mental health treatment plans and policies for the Minority Group.
