Biography:
I am currently enrolled in PhD Sociology at PMAS-Arid Agriculture University Rawalpindi in the department of sociology and criminology. I have been engaged in research and teaching Sociology since the last 8 years. I have published articles in national and International journals on the issues of deprived communities (transgender people in particular) and youth problems in Pakistan. Presently, I am working on Transgender Marginalization in Pakistan in the context of social, cultural and political landscape of Pakistani society. I have established a Literacy school at Rawalpindi (Punjab province) for the Transgender people with the administrative and financial assistance of ministry of literacy in Punjab-Pakistan-to cater the basic education needs of the illiterate transgender people. Further, during COVID-19 periods, I have actively been involved with various community development organizations in twin cities-Rawalpindi and Islamabad aimed at ensuring economic and social Well-being of transgender people. I have been involved in two projects funded by HEC Pakistan under the supervision of my doctoral thesis supervisor Dr. Mazhar Hussain Bhutta. Currently, I am working my PhD Dissertation Titled as “Transgender Marginalization in Punjab Pakistan”. I am exploring the social, economic, cultural, political and religious aspect of marginalization in the Pakistani community.
