A campaign to amend the Tarnsgerders Act 2018 has sought at least one million videos and photos from its supporters across Pakistan.

The law which was passed in the final days of the previous PMLN government allows people to adopt a gender different from the sex they were assigned at birth.

The Jamat-e-Islam (JI), one of the religious parties in the country, and its supporters say this provision was against the injunctions of Islam.

Religious parties have been holding protests in different cities to amend the law, which was hailed by the intersex community of the country. Intersex people are known as khawajasira in Urdu.

JI Senator Mushtaq Ahmed Khan, who is leading the campaign against the law, told his supporters Wednesday night that their protests had compelled the government into accepting that there were some flaws in the law and that it should be amended.

However, he claimed that the government only wanted “small and cosmectic” changes while leaving “the root of the evil intact” in the law.

Khan urged supporters to post at least one million videos against the Transgender Act 2018 on social media on Friday.

He also called on prayer leaders to give sermons on the issue and hold protests in front of mosques after Friday prayers.

Last week, Khan told Aaj Digital that he believed that khwajasira are worthy of respect and rights which should be protected but the Act has nothing to do with the rights of real khwajasira.
