Julie - A Tale Of Dead Society

 

Once there was a human who belonged to a different gender orientation from a dead society. She was told that she is useless and a lesser human just because of her sexual orientation. Her mistake was that, unfortunately she born in that dark culture and that culture does not accept her. Her own parents abandoned her. She was not given the chance of education and job. Boldness and bravery was her traits. So, when she grew up she stand against the law of that dark forest and started fighting for herself and her tribe. Yes, you are right her name was Julie a transgender.

In Pakistan transgenders are the most deprived part of society. They are not given their basic rights. There is not education and jobs for them. For there bread and butter they dance is wedding and streets. A huge amount of them are in sex slavery. So, they are living their lives under the line of poverty and full of miseries. Some year back there gender was not included in national identity cards. Julie started her activism a few year back and raised voice for the rights of transgender community. She attacked on political parties and bureaucracy because they didn't done any legislation for the rights of transgender community. Due to her bold statements and logical talks she became internet sensation. At the same time she became thorn in the eyes of political parties.

Now things went so worst that police arrested her in a fabricated case to control her. She was threatened by mafia before; she is also threatened with her life. In all the circumstances she continues her activism. She and her friends were beaten by some people and then they fabricated a false case against her. Police sent her to jail. 

Point to talk about this is that we are living in a society which have double standards. People don't have freedom of speech and in the case of women and transgender the situation is much worse. It is the need of time that we ensure equal human rights of every person. We have different opinions, that make us diverse so we should respect others opinion. Government should take serious steps about the basic rights of transgender and release Julie as soon as possible. Mafia should know that she is a ray of light and hope. She will shine wherever she go.
