Rose spends a lot of time in an apartment which is a hidden place. If you go up the stairs, you enter the rooms of “Sahodaran”, an organization for the protection of transsexuals. Here, underprivileged trans women can eat in peace, rest and get free HIV tests. Rose distributes hundreds of condoms to sex workers who can thereby protect themselves. They are stored in a room with a large map on which the places are marked where the women work. Often these are public toilets or abandoned houses. The recently adopted Trans Bill was supposed to provide more equality before the law. However, many trans women like Rose see it as another symbol of discrimination. For instance, rapists get a milder sentence if their victim is not a cis woman.
