Rana was born into a family comprising 12\u00a0siblings. Rana had contested election for a seat in the provincial assembly in\u00a0Karachi\u00a0but lost the election. She is one of the primary representatives of the Khwaja Sira community in Pakistan. For the first time in Pakistan\u2019s history, transgender people are running as candidates<em>. <\/em>The development marks a sign of progress for transgender people in this conservative country.<\/p>\n<p>Bindiya Rana has always been active in her community and works at an organization that helps promote the rights of transgender people as well as street children and other social issues. But she decided to run for office as well after a Supreme Court ruling in 2011 allowed members of the transgender community to get national identity cards recognizing them as a separate identity \u2014 neither male or female &#8211; and allowing them to vote.<\/p>\n<p>Rana has called out the faulty representation of trans persons in the\u00a0Pakistani Census, leading to a count that was far lower than the estimate.\u00a0Rana is an advocate of healthcare and is against sexual violence inflicted on trans persons. She has aided in the setup of free medical camps for women and children in the interior\u00a0Sindh\u00a0and\u00a0Balochistan.<\/p>\n<p>In 2015, Rana was involved in a protest against the lack of polling booths for trans persons for the local government polls. As a result, the trans community decided to\u00a0boycott\u00a0the elections.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space alter_height=&#8221;none&#8221; hide_on_desktop=&#8221;&#8221; hide_on_notebook=&#8221;&#8221; hide_on_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; hide_on_mobile=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;text-to-read&#8221;]Bindiya Rana\u00a0is a Pakistani\u00a0transgender\u00a0activist and is the founder and president of the Gender Interactive Alliance (GIA). \u00a0The GIA has aided its trans members in availing of ID cards.
