Human rights organisations will hold a sit-in on Wednesday (today) after they failed to receive a positive response from the government and United Nations on policy to protect the rights of people who are transgender.
The sit-in will take place on Sher Shah Suri Road outside Peshawar Press Club. An alliance of Trans Action, Blue Veins, Pakhtunkhwa Civil Society Network, Tribal NGOs Consortium and FATA Commission of Human Rights have organised the protest. Trans Action head Farzana said, “People who are transgender are the most oppressed and marginalized people of society.” She added, “Even strategies to end gender-based violence exclude the problems being faced by people who are transgender.”
