Transphobia is a term that describes the discriminatory behaviour-physical, verbal and psychological- towards transgender community of a society. The causes of such prejudice behaviours are socially constructed and due to baseless learned fears and norms. Such social attitudes deprive transgenders of opportunities to have equal access to their rights and grow as a healthy member of the society. Such transphobic behaviours are common and challenging in different societies of the world.
Pakistan is a country having a small transgender community which was first time recorded in the nation-wide conducted census in 2017.According to Pakistan Bureau of Statistics, there are 10,000 transgenders making 0.24 % of total population, recoded in 2017 census of Pakistan. Most of the times, we find this community begging on roads /markets and providing entertainment at weddings and at festivities of family occasions. Many of them are also forced to get involved in some unlawful activities to earn bread and butter. We can easily identify that there are very less respectable economic opportunities for this community. Moreover, they are also victims of violence and aggression in the society.
