IDAHOT Report 2016: Pakistan

Despite the threat of violence present in Pakistan’s current climate, national campaigners from Naz Pakistan bravely held an event to mark IDAHOT 2016. On May 15 the group hosted a drag show and panel discussion on trans and LGB discrimination in the country, specifically focusing on the psychological impact of homophobia, transphobia and biphobia. The event featured performances from members of the local LGBT community and also saw the crowning of ‘Miss Naz Pakistan 2016’.
Due to ongoing safety concerns further details of events in Pakistan are not currently available.
