In the Transgenders came for various things to the Tahafuz centre, from registering their rental agreements, loss reports to simply asking if what they were facing with was legal or illegal.
“Within first year there were 800 reports by Transgenders and we saw a drop in the crimes targeted towards the transgender community.”

“Everyone was held accountable, from the constable and the SHO’s for their behaviour and the perpetrators that were named in the report”
