KARACHI (Web Desk) - the Sindh government has hired three transgender persons as full-time employees.
The three include Riffy Khan, who holds a masters degree, whereas Muskaan and Anjum have both completed their schooling up to matriculation.
The three newly-hired employees, all of whom have bachelors degrees, will be working in the Women Development Department.
This is a significant development for a much mistreated community in Pakistan.
Earlier last year, members of the Khawaja Sarra community were also able to vote and contest elections as recognised members of a third gender.
The Supreme Court in 2011 had ordered the government to issue them with identity cards and to register them as voters.
