DU’s Policy on Human Dignity, Diversity, and Inclusion explicitly covers:

• Respect for self-identified gender identity in official communication
• Zero tolerance for harassment, hate speech, or exclusion based on gender identity or sexual orientation
• Commitments to create gender-neutral facilities over time
• Ensuring equal access to healthcare and counselling

In 2023, DU made national headlines by announcing a special admission quota for transgender students in undergraduate programmes—one of the earliest such moves by a Bangladeshi public university.
