Aisha Mughal has become the first transgender woman to represent Pakistan at a United Nations Forum officially. She was recently included in the country’s delegation at the United Nations’ Convention to End All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) committee.

With this development, Pakistan also became the first-ever country in the world to give representation to a trans person at this level.

The Ministry of Human Rights announced the development in a Twitter post.

“The Government of Pakistan has become the first country in the world to include a legally recognized Transgender woman, Ms. Aisha Mughal, in its National Delegation at the UN CEDAW committee.”
