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:
