BISP 2025: How Khawaja Sara Can Register for Kafalat Program – NADRA to BISP Process

BISP Khawaja Sara Registration 2025: Transgender Inclusion Guide for Kafalat Program 🌈

“The measure of a just society is how it treats its most marginalized.”
Pakistan’s BISP Kafalat Program now stands as a beacon of this justice. For the first time, transgender citizens can access PKR 7,000 quarterly payments—not as charity, but as a right.

💡 Why This Inclusion Is Revolutionary

For decades, Pakistan’s transgender community faced systemic exclusion:

• Social Stigma: 78% of Khawaja Sara report job discrimination.

• Financial Barriers: Only 5% have access to formal banking.

• Survival Economy: Many forced into begging or sex work.

The 2025 BISP Kafalat inclusion isn’t just aid—it’s reparations. By recognizing transgender citizens in the NSER database, Pakistan acknowledges their equal dignity.
