The staff of Khawaja Sira Society and community gathered at Lahore Press Club to protest against sexual violence targeting transgender people in Pakistan. The Khawaja Sira community expressed solidarity with trans-women who were gang raped and tortured in Faisalabad some days ago. Such violence forms the daily reality of Khawaja Sira communities who are constantly denied safe and accepting spaces. Such abuse is enabled by the broader social and economic violence against Khawaja Sira and trans people and the collective refusal to address that.
