Ex-Pedophile Shares Tips On How To Make Your Kids Less AttractiveA Pakistani province has allocated nearly $2 million for transgender people after a series of violent attacks, with officials saying the money will be used to provide training and support for the vulnerable community.

The funds were announced this week in budget plans for Pakistan's northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.

"The main purpose is to make them contributory members of the society while earning a livelihood for themselves," provincial finance minister Muzaffar Sayed told AFP Wednesday.

Sayed said 200 million rupees ($2 million) have been allocated "for the capacity building and skill development of the vulnerable groups".

The move came after a spate of recent attacks against transgender people in the province, culminating in last month's killing of an activist known as Alesha, who was shot multiple times and succumbed to her injuries in hospital in Peshawar.

Hundreds of transgender people later rallied in Peshawar and demanded protection.

"At least 45 transgender [people] have so far been killed in the past two years," said Farzana Jan, president of the "Shemale" association in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, adding that up to 50,000 transgender individuals live in the province.

In conservative Muslim Pakistan, where sexual relations outside marriage are taboo and homosexuality is illegal, transgender dancers and musicians often perform at weddings and birth celebrations.

When the Supreme Court in 2009 recognised them as a "third gender", ordering they be issued with separate identity cards, it was hailed as a landmark decision in a nation battling enormous human rights abuses and chronic violence.

But they are also treated as sex objects and often become the victims of violent assault, ending up as little more than beggars.

Sayed said the government would also provide them with loans. "We want them to have alternate sources of income, we will also financially support them in establishing small business," he said.

While Mushtaq Ghani, provincial minister for information, said transgenders will soon get free health care as well as separate rooms in hospitals.

The plan also includes free vocational training, skills development and text books, and will secure employment opportunities in the future, Ghani added.

Such vocational centres for ceria bokep korea pedofilia transgender people are already functional in Pakistan's central Punjab and southern Sindh provinces, but it would be the first of its kind in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Taimur Kamal, another activist, welcomed the move but said the government needs to do more for the protection and support of transgender people.

But fellow activist Qamar Naseem called the decision a "victory".

"People think transgender people are only for sex and dance, they even don't consider them as human being," Naseem said.
