The "Building Access to Justice and Legal Support for the Gender Diverse Population of Bangladesh" project by Bandhu successfully improved the TG community's access to legal services, enhanced public perceptions, and fostered advocacy through capacity-building, DLAC linkages, and awareness campaigns. Despite notable achievements, challenges like hate speech, limited watchdog development, and societal resistance emphasize the need for expanded interventions, particularly engaging religious leaders, to ensure sustained impact and greater inclusivity. Mixed method research approach was employed for the assessment while quantitative data was collected from 210 sample and 16 qualitative data was collected.
