KARACHI: The National Database and Registration Authority (Nadra) has decided to provide job opportunities to eunuchs.

Nadra says this step is aimed towards making eunuchs active members of society. The organisation has decided to first train eunuchs and then hire them as data entry operators at its provincial headquarters and also in Azad Kashmir. The Nadra chairman has also formed a committee for the implementation of the new initiative.


This decision follows Nadra’s long-awaited addition of a third option under the gender category in identity card forms. This decision was conveyed by Nadra’s law officer Mujahid Khan to a division bench of the Sindh High Court (SHC) comprising Chief Justice Sarmad Jalal Osmany and Justice Salman Hamid, reported The Express Tribune.


The application forms for CNICs will now contain the third option of ‘khwaja sara’ (transgender) along with ‘male’ and ‘female’ so that these people can tick this column and the gender marked on their CNICs will be ‘khwaja sara’.
