Bangladesh decided to grant official government recognition of people who gender identify as Hijra on 11 November 2013, in a cabinet meeting chaired by the prime minister.     

 

Recognition brings several government related benefits to Hijras including priority in education, housing and health. Their gender designation will also appear on their passports as Hijras. English language documents will refer to them as Hijras as the government claims any English translation would be misleading.
