The document presents a character study of a 28-year-old transgender female living in a shanty, designed for a group discussion on disaster management. It highlights how social discrimination, lack of literacy, and precarious housing exacerbate the impacts of floods, including health risks from drain water, food insecurity due to price hikes, and exclusion from public gatherings and official aid.

• Transgender individuals in marginalized urban settings face systemic exclusion from public disaster response efforts, including being barred from official neighbourhood meetings regarding floods.
• Flooding in slum areas creates severe health and survival challenges for marginalized persons, specifically through the contamination of homes with drain water and the lack of basic water and sanitary services.
• Economic instability is worsened by floods as the cost of food increases and marginalized individuals, who often lack savings and rely on precarious income from performing, struggle to access help.
