Transgender people still risk discrimination, harassment, and victimization in society. Majority of transgender people have encountered segregation by society in basic human rights because of their sexual orientation. They are ignored in every walk of life including, education, government jobs, health care and even security for their life. In 2013, Supreme Court of Pakistan has given rights to transgender which still are not implemented in the community. Not only the society, but their families are not accepting them as their family members. The objective of this workshop was to review and highlight various aspects of issues faced by the transgender community
