Two transgender women, identified as Shah Salman and Sabir, were brutally murdered in their home in Mardan, Pakistan, by unidentified assailants armed with daggers. The attack, which occurred on October 20, has drawn outrage from the local transgender community, which has demanded immediate action from law enforcement, threatening protests if the killers are not apprehended within three days. Despite the existence of legal protections under the 2018 Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, violence against transgender individuals remains rampant, with nine reported murders in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province this year alone. Police have initiated an investigation but have not established a motive, and community leaders express concern over the lack of accountability for such crimes. Eyewitness accounts describe a chaotic scene as the attackers fled after the brutal assault, which included throat-slitting and mutilation of the victims. The murders highlight the ongoing discrimination and violence that the transgender community faces in Pakistan, where societal attitudes often endanger their safety.
