Two meetings of the core group have been held since and various issues pertaining to the human rights violations of LGBTI persons like discrimination in employment opportunities, challenges facing them in everyday life, and policies drafted by the government have been discussed. The meetings of the core group also provide a platform to the LGBTI people to present their grievances, review legislations and suggest policy interventions required to be taken for better protection and promotion of their rights.
