What is Transgender?
“Transgender is also a separate gender in which one is confused in his/her identity that differs from their assigned sex.”
- Over 10,000 Trans-genders are present in Pakistan.
- 1.4 million All over the globe.
Efforts that prohibit employment discrimination based on factors:
- Race or sexual orientations require certain organizational changes.
- Creating a transgender-inclusive workplace requires organizational changes (including personnel, policy, legal, and medical issues unique to transgender people.)
CONCLUSION:
Recommendations are made to improve the implementation and enforcement of transgender-inclusive nondiscrimination laws and transgender-inclusive environment.
For females, we have to develop a society in which violence and inhumane behaviors must not be tolerated under the provision of laws.
For males, we need to lower down the financial burden and provide increased incentives with less work.
