Poster Launching on IDAHOT Day at NCHR
The two posters designed for purposes of sensitizing police force, one on basic human rights of transgender populations under the Constitution of Pakistan and the second poster is on the duties of police towards transgender population. These posters are now on display in 121 police stations of Islamabad along with at a very prominent place in the office of the Inspector General Police of Islamabad, Pakistan.
One of the major achievements of VISION during this period is the development of the content on training and sensitization of police on basic human rights and the Transgender Protection Act 2018; it’s pretesting with the police personnel, launching and finally training 135 police officials who directly deal with the transgender population on daily basis.
The content is in a training manual format. The trained police officials can use the manual to further train and sensitize their peers on basic human rights and Transgender Protection Act 2018.
The training was conducted for three consecutive days with 30 to 40 participants on each day. This training also provided the transgender Youth Council (YC) members from Multan in Pakistan to facilitate some of the exercises in the manual. Otherwise too, the transgender YC was involved in this process of developing the content and pretest it. Some of the transgender YC members, especially requested VISION to attend the launching ceremony of the manual held at the Islamabad Police Training Academy.

VISION considers this as one of its defining moments because it was requested by National Commission for Human Rights (NCHR) to develop the manual for training the police officials of Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT). In addition to this, Islamabad police and its high officials thanked VISION for this effort and assured the organization that they would continue to engage with VISION on matters of human rights and Transgender Protection Act 2018, whenever needed.
