Transgender Rights in Pakistan: Navigating Legal Framework, Practices and Challenges

    Analyzing the philosophical foundation and practical realities of the Pakistani experience with transgender rights, this study aims to establish the successes, challenges, and potential directions for development. Over the last few years, the Pakistani legislators have enhanced the legal protection for Transgender Rights to a significant level. A landmark bill passed in 2018, the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act seeks to provide for the protection of the rights of the Trans populace. It would therefore be important to explore the real-life phenomenon of Pakistan's transgender persons, as a way of getting to know the application of the issues translated into real-life context. Regrettably, transgender people face prejudices, abuse, and social and employment ostracism in different settings at work, medical facilities, in their domicile, and in schools. People, and groups, both non-governmental and governmental, are dedicating their efforts towards solving such issues.
