The Awami National Party (ANP) has appointed Dr. Mehrib Mueiza Awan as Secretary for Transgender Rights in its central cabinet. This marks the first time a transgender person has been included in a major political party’s central cabinet in Pakistan’s history.
The announcement came during a meeting at the Bacha Khan Center, where the ANP finalized the formation of its entire cabinet through consensus. Dr. Awan’s appointment signifies the party’s commitment to inclusivity and recognition of transgender rights.
