Bodies of Three Transgender Women Found on Roadside in Pakistan Spark Calls for Justice
The discovery of the bodies of three transgender women in Pakistan has ignited demands for justice from the community and human rights advocates. The tragic incident occurred just two days after another transgender woman was wounded in a knife attack, highlighting the ongoing violence faced by transgender individuals in the country.
Members of the transgender community gathered in Karachi to mourn the loss of their fellow members. They comforted each other while condemning the killings, which they attribute to unidentified gunmen. During a peaceful protest held on September 24, 2025, participants called for urgent action to address violence and discrimination against transgender people.
