Abstract

This research explores the barriers facing the education of the transgender community, highlighting social, cultural, and organizational environments. It also investigates the success factors of transgender persons who have had to combat these hurdles. The study uses a quantitative method. The study sample selected through the purposive sampling technique includes a sample of 133 respondents of Transgender individuals from Islamabad, Bari Imam, and Sargodha. A self-developed questionnaire was used for the collection of data. The analysis of data was conducted using the B1 power formula. This finding has implications for the transgender population, the political culture, human rights advocacy groups, the policymakers, the educational systems, and the larger society. Thus, a closer look at specific barriers and facilitators discussed in this work adds useful knowledge that could be used in policymaking and designing the interventions for enhancing education equity for the transgender community of Pakistan.
