They are often stereotypically viewed as shameful and disgraced, and their lives are impacted by issues such as HIV-AIDS, sexual abuse, rape, drug abuse, beggary, suicidal thoughts, and psychological unrest. Although government recognition of the transgender community has been made, the implementation of these laws and ordinances is slow. This study aims to address these unreported and under-covered problems by interviewing transgender community, analyzing case studies, and conducting in-depth interviews with academic and civil society experts. Professionals from various institutions are also interviewed to gain their views on a possible peace framework for the transgender population. The study's findings aims to provide future prospects at social, legal, religious, and political levels.</em></p>2024-12-31T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 By submitting an article to the editor, the author (s) will automatically grant editors the rights to edit and post the content of the articles on the official website of the Sadiq Journal of Pakistan Studies (SJPS) if accepted.
