"Nearly 300,000 hijras--transgender women--in Pakistan have been left out of aid efforts in the wake of devastating floods.
Although the Pakistan Supreme Court ordered in 2009 that hijras be recognized as a distinct third gender on national identity cards, none of these ID cards have been distributed, leaving many hijras without access to flood relief aid.
Sign this petition to demand that hijras receive the equal treatment they deserve, including access to flood relief aid and housing in displaced person camps. "
