Transgender woman starts cafe in Noida, hopes to inspire others from 'community'

Urooz Hussain, a transgender woman, has started a cafe at Sector 119, Noida and hopes that this will inspire others from her "community."

"I was subjected to harassment at my workplaces so I decided to start my own cafe that treats everyone equally. I hope this will inspire others from my community," Hussain told .

"People accepted me here, they showered love on me," she added.

Hussain did hospitality, industrial training, and multiple jobs before she finally became her own boss. "The cafe is harassment-free for all genders, they don't have to face what I have been through. It is to make my parents proud for having me," Hussain said.

However, a few challenges are still there."We face issues when we hire people for the cafe. I knew that if I lose courage, I will break and I did not want to break," Hussain said.

Hussain also helped sex workers, their children in COVID-19 lockdown. At the same time, Urooz's cafe 'street temptations' at Sector 119 serves Indian-Chinese food.
