Jayna Kothari, Senior Advocate & Executive Director of CLPR, was a keynote speaker and part of a panel discussion at "Why (Queer) History Matters: The Politics of History", an international and interdisciplinary conference organised by the University of Bergen in Bergen, Norway.

Her talk focused on the history of legal rights of transgender & intersex persons in India. She highlighted the importance of establishing archives that help in reclaiming queer narratives. Angana P. Chatterji Susan Stryker c. anzio jacobs Akkai Padmashali #queerhistorymatters
