Pakistani eunuchs and transgenders demon

Pakistani eunuchs and transgenders demonstrate for their rights in the city of Peshawar on July 11, 2011. Pakistan's eunuchs are traditionally paid to help celebrate the birth of a son, or to dance at weddings or living on the streets begging or prostituting themselves. But in Muslim Pakistan, where sexual relations outside marriage are taboo and homosexuality is illegal, eunuchs are also treated as sex objects and often become the victims of violent assault.
