Why select a career:
8. “Vocational guidance is a process of helping the person to
develop and accept an integrated adequate picture of
himself and his role in the world of work to test this concept
against reality and to convert it into reality with satisfaction
to himself and benefit of society.”
(DONALD SUPER)

How counsellors work for
development of individual:
21. The term third gender and third sex describe
individuals who are categorized (by their will
or by social consensus) as neither man nor
women, as well as the social category
present in those societies who recognize
three or more genders. In Pakistan,
individuals who are born with sexual
deformity are known as eunuch (hijras or
khwajasarras).
What is Third Gender:
22. How they earn their livelihood in
Pakistan:
The group earn livelihood by
performing/dancing/singing in family
functions like birthdays, marriages or child
births.
23. Most of the people do not consider them eunuch by birth.
They believe that they are either men behaving like women
( cross dressers) or they are homosexual. No doubt, it is
true.The number of those born with sexual deformity in
eunuch community is as low as 1%( Zafar, 2004). Both cross
dressers and homosexuals are cursed down in Islam. As it is
difficult to isolate a genuine eunuch from converted one,
people use to curse and look down upon whole eunuch
community. More over sex work and certain behavioral
such as sundering jokes, using disgusting language and
throwing vulgar gesticulations, persuade people harboring
negative attitude towards them.
How are they socially treated in
Pakistan:
24. Rights of eunuch in Pakistan are confined to vote/contest In
elections. Otherwise they are victims of extreme social
ostracism.They are denied in families.They are neither
acceptable at work places nor they are allotted any quota in
employment.They are also deprived of opportunities to take
education because of peoples attitude towards them. And so
they are also denied health & psychological/psychotherapeutic
assistance.
25. Beside this, educated English speaking class of eunuch is
enlarging in Pakistan.They do not face this treatment because
of their social and economic status in society.They become
fashion designers, interior decorators, hair stylist , make up
artists, actors, event organizers and even politicians.
26. In June 2009, the Supreme Court of Pakistan ordered a census of
eunuch, which came out between 80,000 and 300,00 in Pakistan.
In December 2009, Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, the chief
justice of Pakistan, ordered that the national database and
Registration authority (NADRA) issues national identity cards to
members of community showing their “distinct” gender. “ it’s the
first time in the 62 year history of Pakistan that such steps are
being taken for our welfare”, Almas Bobby, a eunuch
association’s president, said to Reuters. “it’s a major step towards
giving us respect and identity in society.We are slowly getting
respect in society. Now people recognize that we are also human
beings.
27. Bearing in mind that having its own gender label will not solve all
of the eunuch community's problems, the Supreme Court made
further recommendations, the most revolutionary being in the
professional field. Per official orders, if qualified, eunuch were
now to be given preference for civil service jobs for affirmative-
action reasons.
According to the ruling, a transgender applicant with a 10th-
grade education was now deemed to have the same
qualifications for government work as a non-transgender person
with a bachelor's degree.
But that wasn't all. In 2010, eunuch were also appointed as tax
collectors to utilize their "special" persuasion skills.
28. Reasons for becoming eunuch or joining eunuch vary, it is
believed that eunuch earn livelihood relatively easily. Desperate
and unemployed youth is attracted to eunuch community to earn
this easy money. Secondly, ignorance towards psychological
healing of problems in most of the low class families led their
children to take shelter in so called safe heaven of eunuch
community. Selling of children to eunuch community due to
poverty is yet another important reason of becoming eunuch.
Reasons of behaving like third
gender:
29. Reasons are obvious; solutions are obvious too.
First of all, parents should be very careful about the children
showing deviant behavior. If a boy behaves in a girlish manner, he
should not be encouraged. Rather, should be taken to
psychiatrist/ psychologist immediately for necessary treatment.
Secondly, Parents should have an active eye on the activities of
their children reaching the age of adolescence.They should
check the company their child keep. Government should more
actively approach to homosexuals and develop public awareness
program to handle the issue.
At the end, there should be complete records of born eunuch on
district level. So that these eunuch can either be provided
financial help publically to restrain them from falling in socially
unacceptable activities or assigned them qouta in employment.
.
30. As they grow they must get awareness about themselves. Along
with that basic education should be make compulsory for them
so that those among them who are interested in further
education should be guided and provided the opportunities.
After education opportunities must be provided to like normal
person to select what vocation/career they are interested in by
visiting vocational counsellors who definitely will make them
realize of what they are and what amazing changes they can
bring in the society and for the welfare of society as they are
special for almighty Allah, they have positive qualities of males
and females both.
They are equal to normal persons, they are humans like us, its
not their fault that they are born like this so they should be
treated normally and gently.
