Raising the alarm: Mental health status of the transgender community in Pakistan.

In Pakistan, the transgender community faces many challenges. Transgender identity is considered taboo and people tend to distance themselves from them without knowing their issues. They face difficulties seeking education, jobs, and even basic human rights. They also face violence and social exploitation. Due to the lack of support from their family members, they're more prone to develop psychological problems and suicidality. Trans rights are human rights - the purpose of our paper is to expose the dire state of mental health of the transgender community in Pakistan on an international platform. We aim to bring a global concern to this problem because we hope that it will spur the relevant authorities to take steps to mitigate the current situation. Special attention should be paid to the protection and education of transgender individuals. If they're suffering from any psychiatric disorder, healthcare professionals should be there to help them.
