Members of transgender community protest in Peshawar

Members of transgender community shout slogans during a protest to demand their rights in Peshawar, Pakistan, 24 May 2023. The Federal Shariat Court has ruled against a law which was designed to protect the rights of transgender people, as it deemed some of its provisions to be contrary to Islamic injunctions. After hearing arguments from both parties, the court concluded that the concept of gender identity based on self-perceived identity, rather than biological sex, was against Islamic teachings.
