Justice For Rimal Ali
Rimal Ali has asked some heart breaking questions, she said please stop killing us. Four hundred to five hundred people have been killed in just one year.
” Don’t we deserve to live?” We just want to live, let us live.
Just let us live when we are nothing, we are thrown out of our houses by our parents. When we establish ourselves with our hard work and struggle than the psychopaths of the society make it difficult for us to live.
Justice For Rimal Ali should start trending on social medial, for the sake of the transgender community, for their peace, they deserve what every one else deserve in the society.
The transgender community has faced physical and mental torture by the society for a long time now. It is time they be given same rights, respect and place in the society. Many abuse cases of the transgender are not registered, the law and enforcement agencies do not cooperate with them, probable because they are not considered humans.
The transgender people are as good as anyone else in the society. They deserve the same peaceful and normal life. It is hard to imagine we need separate laws for them, we still need to teach the society they are humans as good as you and me.
Wake up as a society stand up for every breathing soul. They also bleed, they also have a heart and they also feel pain.
Justice For Rimal Ali should continue to trend until the transgender community get all the equal rights they deserve.
