The transgender community in Rawalpindi faces fear and isolation in healthcare settings, leading many, like Honey, to suffer untreated medical issues such as tuberculosis.
Honey was finally diagnosed with tuberculosis at a screening camp run by the Dopasi Foundation, which reaches vulnerable communities with portable X-ray machines.
Many transgender individuals struggle to find stable employment, often resorting to begging or sex work, which increases their health risks and vulnerability to violence.
After her tuberculosis diagnosis, Honey had to navigate stigmatizing and unwelcoming healthcare environments, illustrating the pervasive discrimination faced by transgender patients.
