Include hermaphrodites in mainstream

Wasiuzzaman Khan, BBA Department, East West University, Dhaka
We often see hermaphrodites collecting money from different shops beside the road. Though hermaphrodites have no physical or mental disability, our society does not accept them as normal human beings. In Western culture, hermaphrodites get the same facilities as normal human beings get and so they become self-dependent and contribute to their national economy. However, in our country the way of their income is not fair, but it isn't their fault. If our government establishes a special educational institution for the hermaphrodite population, they would become self-dependant and could contribute to society. We have to change our mindset and attitude towards them.
