The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has started the registration of eunuchs in Khanewal division for computerised national identity cards (CNIC), and their inclusion in electoral rolls, a local NADRA official said.
NADRA representative Tauseef Ghauri and Khanewal Assistant Election Commissioner Javed Iqbal Chatta told reporters that so far 56 eunuchs were available for registration and 12 of them had been registered.
Ghauri said the NADRA initiative was in compliance with the Supreme Court’s orders on early registration of eunuchs. He said the authority had created a separate gender category of “shemale” in the registration forms according to the apex court’s orders.
Rani and Khalid, the representatives of eunuchs, praised the initiative and thanked the chief justice of Pakistan for allowing them the right to cast vote.
kiya koi NADRA Balochistan walon ka sath dega??? himat ha to samnay aao
NEWAP WALO,
Daro us Allah Say jo puri dunia ka malik ha.
Aao or mill kar sath do hamara
Balochistan.
In a society that remains embittered for even whether a woman can even show her face or her bare shoulders in public and as sullied as current negotiations and manifestation of upstanding rights for transgender persons may currently be, perhaps one ought to take some degree of heart that the latest actions courtesy of the Supreme court has begun a process of inclusion that not even 5 years ago would have been heretical to consider.
