In Pakistan, transgenders are 0.005 percent of the total population. [1] Transgenders were isolated from the society and were not given any rights. They got discriminated in healthcare services. When one of the transgender, in 2016, was got 6 shots and was died in the hospital while doctors were deciding which ward they suppose to take to. They faced discrimination in finding a job due to the wrong Identification Cards at government level. For survival, they do dance, singing, and begging on streets to earn money.[2] In May 2018, parliament passed a bill giving transgenders the right to choose their identity and correct their official documents such as ID cards, driver license, and passports. [3]. Transgenders now have the right to vote and to find a job for their better earnings. As of 2018, one transgender women become a new anchor and two other transgenders got hired at supreme Court.[4]
In Lebanon, transgender women are not given any rights. Discrimination starts from their own family members when trans women are forced to leave their house. After that, trans women are not allowed to have any connections with their family members or with their neighbors. Trans women can't access educational institutions and medical services. Moreover, trans women face employment discrimination due to their wrong identification cards that are not being corrected by the government agencies. To support themselves financially, the only option often open to trans women is sex work, which is not safe for them either. Doing sex work, trans women are at higher risk of sexual abuse and violence. No laws are in existence to protect trans women. Instead, trans women are being arrested and put in jail for up to one year for having same sex intercourse.[5]
