Transgenders past 4 months in Pakistan Recap

Pakistan’s vocal transgender activist Kami Sid is making waves on broader horizons. She recently did an inspirational photoshoot and made her mark as the country’s first transgender model.

In a conservative society, which in general fails to provide a safe and secure environment to transgender people, battling conventional notions can be a perilous task.Kami seemed to have picked up the gauntlet and dedicated her stunning photo session to ending phobia and misunderstanding regarding transgender people.

A Pakistani transgender, a sad story, activist has died of her injuries three days after she was shot seven times. Alisha, a 23-year-old who went by one name and was a leading voice for transgender rights in the conservative Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, died Wednesday. While details of Sunday’s shooting are still unclear, initial reports say she was shot by a member of a group known for making threats against transgender people. Alisha is one of five activists with Trans Action, an advocacy group for transgender rights, who have been attacked there in recent months.

Controversial posters supporting beheading of transgenders have been put up in Pakistan's financial capital Karachi's busiest commercial and shopping areas, prompting the police to sound an alert to ward off any trouble.

The posters highlighting the growing extremism and intolerance in the country have come up near and inside shopping malls, causing anxiety and fear among many transgenders who frequent the area and ask for alms.
A senior police officer said they have sounded an alert in the area to watch out those behind this campaign.

In conclusion the plight of transgenders should be tolerated at all costs to bring transparency in our society in order to keep par with Global trends.
