Waria or trans woman is still a group that receives negative treatment within Indonesian society.
Most of the families rejected them so that often trans women run away from their homes.
They experience difficulties due to not having an official identity recognised by the state.
Only a small number of regions in Indonesia are willing to issue residence letters for transgender people that then can be used to apply for study or work.
Activist and leader of the Waris Crisis Center (WCC), Rully Malay shared a story about this issue.
WCC helps transgender people with mental assistance so that they can accept themselves and be able to be independent.
