The transgender community in Karachi has found its own place of worship after being harassed or turned away from other churches in the Pakistani city. The First Church For Eunuchs -- a term used in Pakistan for transgender people -- was set up by Pastor Ghazala Shafique of the Church of Pakistan. Although a 2018 law allows individuals to choose their own gender -- and a third gender is now officially recognized by the authorities -- transgender people of all faiths still face abuse and discrimination.
