A government-led campaign to get Pakistan's transgender population to register to vote has resulted in only 1,043 sign-ups to the electoral role. Pakistan's social welfare department says that 80,000 transgenders are registered with them, but unofficial estimates of how many transgenders, or ‘hijras’ as they are known in Pakistan and India stretch to 300,000 or 500,000. The hijras, often rejected from their families, live in transgender communities often turning to begging or prostitution to survive.
