Transgender in Pakistan basically reflects a group of people who enjoys the least amount of respect or rights. Have a look at the top bitcoin casino sites. Due to controversial nature and typical mindset of people, the subject of transgender rights in Pakistan is not even discussed in sophisticated circles.  Da Hawwa Lur implemented a project of “Eliminating Sexual Harassment through Empowering Transgender in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa” by the support of the USAID Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governance Project in Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The purpose of the project was to empower Tran’s genders of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa through awareness about the laws affecting Tran’s genders and connecting them with the key stakeholders. Da Hawwa Lur implemented this project with Key Stakeholders including District Government Departments, Civil Society Organizations, Media, Community based Organizations, Educational Institutions, Youth Networks and Political Representatives.

Da Hawwa Lur conducted a series of 5 training workshops comprising of two days each covering the Right to Information Act, Right to Services Act, Protection against Harassment of Women at Workplace Act 2010 and basic fundamental rights under constitution of Pakistan with the full participation of transgender and relevant stake holders.

“Sexual Harassment remained a big hurdle towards the social, political and economic empowerment of transgender in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa but after getting to know about the anti-sexual harassment legislation aiming to counter work/public place harassment, I feel safe and empowered as a fearless strong human being”
