Transgender :
though Pakistan is known as a conservative country, in 2018, the parliament
passed the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act. This bill has been
called ā€˜a landmarkā€™ and ā€˜one of the world's most progressive trans rights billsā€™. It
allows people to choose their gender and makes it possible to have that gender
officially stated in their ID card. The bill also prohibits several forms of
discrimination - for example in schools and at work. It allows inheritance for
transgender people and enables them to run for public office. Additionally, in
July 2021 Pakistan opened the first state-funded school for transgender
women.
Despite these actions, discrimination of transgender people is still evident in
various parts of social life including the healthcare system, the workplace,
public bathrooms as well as during the interaction with law enforcement
agencies. Kami Sid says: ā€™I identify as a transgender woman since the age of 22.
In my experience, it's very hard to be a transgender person in Pakistan because
people don't give you your own space. People donā€™t respect you or tell you that
you are alright.ā€™
