LAHORE: The Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz<\/a> has initiated<\/span> a large<\/span>–<\/span>scale<\/span> technical skills training program for the transgender community to\u00a0enhance<\/span> their<\/span> socio-economic<\/span> empowerment<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Under this program, almost<\/span>\u00a01,600 transpersons<\/span> will<\/span> get<\/span> technical<\/span> skills<\/span> training in multiple<\/span> sectors,<\/span> such<\/span> as<\/span> IT and<\/span> freelancing, healthcare assistance, tailoring, fashion design, electrical, solar, and beauty services.<\/p>\n

This<\/span> program essentially<\/span> looks<\/span> at<\/span> creating<\/span> socio<\/span>–<\/span>economic<\/span> opportunities<\/span> for<\/span>\u00a0transgender<\/span>\u00a0persons<\/span><\/a>,<\/span>\u00a0which<\/span> would<\/span> increase<\/span> their<\/span> employability<\/span> even<\/span> when<\/span> they<\/span> present<\/span> traditional<\/span> qualifications,<\/span> given<\/span> the<\/span> challenges<\/span> the<\/span> transgender<\/span> persons<\/span> face<\/span> in<\/span> employment<\/span>.<\/p>\n

CM Maryam Nawaz stated<\/span> that the discrimination<\/span> of<\/span> a<\/span> transgender person<\/span> is “shameful<\/span>,<\/span>” and encourages<\/span> the<\/span> community<\/span> to “show<\/span> that talent has no gender.“<\/span> The training has been tailored<\/span> to a<\/span> curriculum<\/span> and<\/span> based<\/span> on<\/span> offering<\/span> livelihood<\/span> opportunities grounded<\/span> in<\/span> market<\/span> opportunities<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The<\/span> program<\/span> aims<\/span> to<\/span> prepare<\/span> a<\/span> trans<\/span>–person<\/span> to<\/span> temporarily<\/span> or<\/span> permanently<\/span> provide<\/span> for<\/span> their<\/span> livelihood<\/span> through<\/span> skill<\/span> utilization<\/span>. This program takes<\/span> a<\/span> step towards providing<\/span> employment<\/span><\/a> inclusion<\/span> and<\/span> opportunities for<\/span> workforce<\/span> participation<\/span> for the transgender community in various sectors<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Two<\/span> main<\/span> components<\/span> the<\/span> government<\/span> is<\/span> addressing<\/span> are<\/span> the violence<\/span> experienced<\/span> and<\/span> attitudes<\/span> towards<\/span> the<\/span> transgender community<\/span> and work<\/span> environment<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

More<\/span> directly<\/span>,<\/span> training<\/span> in<\/span> multiple<\/span> sectors<\/span> is<\/span> intended<\/span> to<\/span> create<\/span> opportunities<\/span> to empower<\/span>\u00a0and<\/span> address<\/span> the challenges that<\/span> many<\/span> face in the job market when<\/span> securing<\/span> a<\/span> position<\/span>.<\/p>\n

By<\/span> implementing<\/span> this<\/span> program<\/span>,<\/span> this<\/span> initiative<\/span> assists<\/span> in<\/span> altering<\/span> negative<\/span> attitudes<\/span> occurrence<\/span> of<\/span> violence<\/span> and assists<\/span> in<\/span> social<\/span> inclusion<\/span>,<\/span> creating<\/span> a<\/span> more<\/span> accepting<\/span> society<\/span>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
