This document is a role-playing exercise designed for a group discussion, centering on the experiences of a 28-year-old transgender woman living in a marginalized community facing the impacts of flooding.

• The persona described faces systemic social exclusion and discrimination, which prevents her from attending public or official gatherings, such as neighborhood meetings regarding floods, due to her identity as a transgender person.
• Flooding causes severe health and financial distress for the individual, who lives in a slum house frequently flooded with drain water and lacks access to water supply or sanitary services. The floods further exacerbate poverty by increasing food prices for those without savings.
• While the individual is interested in flood-prevention projects, water-saving technologies, and volunteer networks, she expresses uncertainty about whether she will be allowed to participate and requires guarantees of personal safety to contribute to neighborhood activities.
