Shunned By Other Churches, Pakistan's Transgender Community Makes Its Own

The transgender community in Karachi has found its own place of worship after being harassed or turned away from other churches in the Pakistani city. The First Church For Eunuchs -- a term used in Pakistan for transgender people -- was set up by Pastor Ghazala Shafique of the Church of Pakistan. Although a 2018 law allows individuals to choose their own gender -- and a third gender is now officially recognized by the authorities -- transgender people of all faiths still face abuse and discrimination.
