Project Title: Bridging the Barriers - Inclusion of Transgender Community in Flood Relief and Rehabilitation Response

The Transgender community in Pakistan is an already marginalized group and has been further marginalized by the devastating 2022 flooding that has affected over 33 million people and left millions deprived of basic needs. The field rapid assessment's preliminary analysis and the information presented by the community all point to the fact that transgender community has been missing from all levels of the discourse around the flood relief efforts.

To address this, Peace & Justice Network Pakistan (PJN) is starting a national flood emergency advocacy, capacity development, and awareness program for transgender inclusion (November 2022 - March 2023) aims to build a robust coordination and protection mechanism to make the flood relief and response efforts more responsive to the needs of the Transgender community at national, provincial, and in 33 targeted districts. The project aims to contribute towards the inclusion of Transgender community in flood relief and response, with greater recognition and protection of the rights of the Transgender community. The program has the following three key objectives:

  • Outcome 1: National Integrated Response and Coordination Mechanism established to ensure inclusion of Transgender in Flood Relief and rehabilitation activities.
  • Outcome 2: Improved access of Transgender Community to flood Relief and rehabilitation Services.
  • Outcome 3: Increased Awareness and Empowering Transgender Community to better protect and engage in flood relief and rehabilitation efforts.

Under the program, Peace and Justice Network (PJN) will ensure that:

  • Flood relief and response national efforts are anchored in a human-rights based approach, where a person's sexual or gender identity is not a barrier to receiving the assistance and opportunities needed to receive relief support and recover from a disaster.
  • Transgender community actively engaged in flood relief and response action plan development and implementation at national, provincial, and district level.
  • Government and international humanitarian organizations are implementing Transgender inclusive Flood Disaster Response and Relief mechanism, standards, and policies.
  • Ensuring government departments and humanitarian organizations actively engage with transgender communities at district level in a more sensitized and protected way.
  • Gender segregated data collection and analysis to create evidence on exclusion/inclusion of Transgender persons in humanitarian response has begun and is informing policy development for inclusive long-term Disaster Response and Relief strategies in Pakistan.
  • Transgender communities feel more empowered and protected accessing flood relief and rehabilitation support.
  • Transgender Inclusion National Taskforce established and sustained beyond program life to ensure government of Pakistan and international humanitarian organizations are following/implementing inclusive humanitarian strategies, policies, and programming for disasters including floods, earthquakes, pandemics, conflicts, etc.
