They Deserve

(Ramsha Altaf, Karachi)

Every citizen desire to have equal rights but regrettably the share is not on the basis of egalitarianism. This disparity of gender widespread all around the globe. But people raised their voices for the rights of the third gender and came up with the best conclusions.

Exact number for Pakistani transgender population are not known media estimates range between 80,000 to 500,000 but this figure is not accurate as the last census was conducted in 1998 and didn't account for a third gender. Some of the specific issue facing the transgender community are lack of legal protection due to discrimination they deprived of education. Poverty is also the main reason they are unemployed and helplessly have to beg for their living they have always being harassed for being different.

Transgender people come from all walks of life. They can be born anywhere parents are not responsible for the gender of their offspring either male female or a bisexual. They should be provided with equal share in all fields of life. As Pakistani we need to realize that they are not born to sing and dance only. They are human-being like us and Almighty has made them. We need to raise our voices on behalf of them and make them living less painful.
