Through the support of NGOs working for the rights of Eunuchs, the Punjab Human Rights Department has introduced a mobile phone application for the registration of complaints of violence against the transgender community.


In the past few years, many rights were given to the Eunuchs, such as identity cards, reserved seats in education, voting, and property inheritance.

But due to a lack of awareness, these rights and laws are not implemented.

The new app developed by the Pakistani government with the support of NGO's working for the human rights of enuchs will allow people to report violence against transgender people with the hope that it will reduce the oppression of this marginalized group.
