Our dear CM @MaryamNSharif you are doing incredible work for the people of Punjab. You have brought respect and dignity to my community that we long fought for. However, your flagship app “Maryam ko Btaen” has no gender option. If we cant register our identity, how can we reach you? Kindly add it. May Allah bless you more. @OmarIffat @SaniaaAshiq @hinaparvezbutt @AzmaBokhariPMLN

My latest writing piece is out. At a time when the world is talking about decolonisation, India’s 2026 amendment risks re-colonising transgender communities, taking away hard earned protections and defying its own rich cultural and legal history of gender diversity.

United Nations has released the list of shortlisted & eligible candidates for the upcoming appointment of the Special Rapporteur on the Situation of Human Rights Defenders at the 61st Human Rights Council session. It is both humbling and deeply meaningful to be included in this process, not as a personal achievement, but as part of a larger struggle for recognition and representation. For the first time in UN history, a transgender woman’s name appears on this list.
This comes at a moment when the global anti-gender movement is actively seeking to roll back hard-won protections and erase transgender and gender-diverse persons from policy, law, and public life, even within multilateral spaces. The shrinking civic space for SOGIESC human rights defenders poses an urgent challenge to the universality of human rights itself. Inclusion in this list is, therefore, more than symbolic, it signals that gender diversity, lived experience, and expertise belong at the centre of global human rights protection.

لوگوں نے خواجہ سراؤں کو ہمیشہ بنیادی حقوق اور برابری کے مواقعوں سے محروم رکھا ۔ میری زندگی بھی بے شمار مشکلات اور جدوجہد میں گزری۔ لیکن آج، جب دنیا کی سب سے بڑی یونیورسٹی ہارورڈ یونیورسٹی نے مجھے بطور عالمی فیلو برائے انسانی حقوق اپائنٹ کیا، ان کی ویب سائٹ پر میرا پروفائل اور کام شائع ہوا، تو دل اللہ کے حضور شکر سے بھر گیا۔
یہ لمحہ میرے لیے صرف ذاتی کامیابی نہیں بلکہ تاریخ کا وہ باب ہے جس میں پاکستان اور جنوبی ایشیا کی پہلی خواجہ سرا اس مقام تک پہنچی۔ میں ہمیشہ کہتی ہوں کہ انسان چاہے وہ کسی بھی جنس یا صنف کا ہو — مرد ہو، عورت ہو یا خواجہ سرا — اگر نیک نیتی سے محنت کرے تو وہ اپنے ملک کا نام دنیا میں بلند کر سکتا ہے،

I had the honour of delivering a testimony during the 8th session of the Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction in Geneva, in the presence of missions and delegations from around the world. Sharing Pakistan’s success story on inclusive disaster risk reduction was a deeply powerful experience. It was heartening to see how many missions reached out to me afterward, eager to learn more and apply similar approaches in their own countries.

In these times of intersecting global crises, it is more important than ever that trans communities and indigenous Hijra people are heard on influential platforms. Every space must be inclusive and reflective of the diversity it serves. I feel truly humbled that we are helping shape DRR, humanitarian, and climate spaces to be more inclusive and just.
A heartfelt thank you to Represtative of Secretary General on DRR HE @HeadUNDRR Kamal Kishore , @BranwenMillar making this moment possible. I’d also like to acknowledge @MF_GDG and Kevin Blanchard MSc FRGS for their tireless work in creating and protecting space for voices like ours.

Last week, I was scheduled to be in Washington, D.C. to participate in the Human Rights Conference during WorldPride. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend in person due to the persistent xenophobic and transphobic barriers embedded in global immigration systems.
However, I’m grateful that I was still able to participate virtually and speak on the panel “Transgender Rights Globally: Centering Narratives within International Frameworks & Local Contexts.”
It was an honor to be part of such a historic and powerful conversation. Sharing a few screenshots from my panel participation—more details to come in a later post.
A heartfelt thank you to @therosemontoya, Rae Dyson , Executive Office of the Mayor, Mayor’s Office of LGBTQ Affairs and Kai Alviar Horton from TransLife for their incredible support and solidarity.
Congratulations to the WorldPride and Capital Pride DC teams for creating history amidst rising global anti-gender movements. You made this moment possible, and we made history together.

Today 3 years has been completed of a historic initiative by the @ICT_Police , launched to protect transgender citizens and provide police-related services with dignity and respect. I took on the role of in-charge of this center, a responsibility I am truly proud of.
Over the years, we have made remarkable strides in addressing gender-based violence cases involving transgender persons and other marginalized communities. We have also provided technical support to institutions seeking guidance on transgender inclusion. Visit us and witness our inclusive community policing initiatives, which also contribute to social protection. I have been part of this initiative since its inception and remain committed to its mission. @ahsanpsp @amnaappi @MohsinnaqviC42 @MOIofficialGoP

On 12 December , the first-ever Dignity Awards - Honoring Inclusion and Diversity at Crossroads of Intersectional Leadership were organized by the @PMsYouthProgram in collaboration with the @fdipakistan2013, @HEC_Pakistan , and @BARGADYouth .
I am deeply humbled to have received the inaugural award from Chairman PMYP @ranamashoodpmln , Coordinator to the Prime Minister on Climate Change Ms. @RominaKAlam , Member of the National Assembly Aamnah Batool, and Senator @SenatorMumtaz.
A heartfelt acknowledgment to Ms. Romina Khurshid Alam, whose inspiring gesture and immense respect for the transgender population stood out. Allies like @uzmaayaqoob , Executive Director of FDI, remind us how vital handholding and solidarity are, especially from cisgender women, to ensure inclusion, equity, and growth for all.
This recognition is a milestone, but the journey is far from over. Together, we must continue building meaningful, lasting change. A big thank you to all the organizers, for their commitment to promoting diversity and inclusion. #1stdignityawards

PAKISTAN: Gender based violence against khwajasira and transgender individuals has resulted in at least 140 deaths in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province since 2016 (source: Manzil Foundation).
The situation is dangerously compounded by the harassment from police officers and discrimination from health workers often faced by khwajasira and transgender survivors.
@amnesty calls on the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government to effectively investigate and bring to account the organized groups and law enforcement officials responsible for violence against Khwajasira and transgender individuals and take immediate action to prevent further attacks. The authorities should ensure access to healthcare without discrimination as stipulated under Article 12 of the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2018. The Government is also obligated under Article 6c of the Act to ‘institute mechanisms for the periodic sensitization and awareness of the public servants, in particular, but not limited to, law enforcement agencies and medical institutions, relating to the issues involving the Transgender Persons and the requirement of protection and relief of such persons’
Activists in Pakistan have demanded that the authorities establish dedicated, sensitized law enforcement and healthcare units to address gender-based violence against Khwajasira, transgender, and other gender diverse individuals and ensure their safety.

Honored to Speak at the Divisional Consultative Workshop on Dispute Resolution Councils (DRCs) in Peshawar
Proud to be part of this impactful event, jointly organized by @PJNPakistan , @UNDP_Pakistan , @KP_Police1 , and the @GovtofKPK Funded by @EUPakistan
Advocating for equality and inclusion in spaces where these concepts are often overlooked is never easy, but it is necessary. Together, we are working towards creating a system where justice and fairness prevail for all individuals, regardless of their identity or background.

Trigger ⚠️
A transgender person's dead body was found today on Kashmir Highway Islamabad, allegedly a victim of a road accident. Rushed to PIMS Mortuary, only an external postmortem was conducted, with no forensic examination to uncover the truth. My heart bleeds as I worry we may never identify her biological guardians, but we must demand justice. With Safe City cameras watching over us, it's crucial we investigate - was she hit by a vehicle accidentally or intentionally? Or was she brutally murdered and dumped on the road? I urge @ICT_Police to file an FIR under state prosecution, Istagasa, to ensure her dignity is respected. Transphobia, stigma, and neglect are harsh realities we can't ignore. #TransLivesMatter
