The representatives of transgender community stated during a dialogue on the rights of transgender community held here on Wednesday.
NDF Pakistan in collaboration with Peace and Justice Network held the District Dialogue on the rights of transgender community.
The representatives of the transgender community suggested that the data of their community should be collected and given special attention in emergency situations.
On this occasion Abid Lashari, Transgender Asif Ali, Additional Director Social Welfare Sabir Qureshi, Deputy Director Population Welfare Department Riaz Hussain Shar, Deputy Director Pakistan Bait Al-Mal Shehzado Jiskani, Focal Person Human Rights Department Mazhar Mallah and others said that members of transgender community are poor class and are deprived of basic rights.
They said that the transgender are human beings, and they have the same rights to enjoy at equal basis. “We should provide an enabling environment so that they can participate in all spheres of life,” they urged.
