Our Team

Our team works to fight discrimination in employment, education, housing, and public places, including restrooms. We’re working to make sure transgender people get the basic equal rights they need and access to changes like gender marker on identification documents and obtaining legal name changes.

Leadership

Kami Sid was the first transgender model not only in Pakistan, but in the entire Muslim world. She is internationally well-known as a courageous and glamorous activist for transgender rights.

Sid has had the honor of representing Pakistan on various international platforms, and serves as a member of many national and international community-based organizations promoting social welfare. These groups addressing issues related to HIV, health, and human rights through capacity building, advocacy and community mobilization within local transgender communities.

We at Sub Rang are fighting for human rights in my country. As an activist, model, and public speaker, I focus on gender equality and trans empowerment, right for transgender youth and marginalized communities, and sexual and reproductive health care. My goal is to empower, motivate and inspire young vulnerable communities and fight for social and legislative justice.

My work serves as an example of how transgender can make their living and improve their livelihood. Our organization is at the head of Pakistan’s transgender rights movement and we’re so glad to see measures being taken to highlight, yet normalize, the existence of a community so marginalized.
