The most recent development in the realm of sports inclusivity in Pakistan is the successful organization of the Transgender Sports Festival in Peshawar, as reported by Tribune Latest and Neo Plus. Held at the Peshawar Sports Complex, the event saw participation from over 100 transgender individuals and short-statured athletes, engaging in activities such as archery, tug-of-war, and various races. Mahigul, a prominent transgender community member, described it as a "beautiful opportunity for smiles," highlighting the festival's role in bringing together individuals from remote areas. Arzoo, another community leader, emphasized the importance of such initiatives, stating, "Events like these must continue because promoting positive activities is commendable." The festival, which had not been held for five years, was praised for its inclusivity and the joy it brought to participants, as noted by Neo Plus. Farzana, President of the Transgender Association Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, expressed the need for more such events, saying, "We need at least two such festivals annually, to enjoy tension-free moments with peers in a supportive environment." Director General of Sports Tashfeen Haider and Secretary of Sports Muhammad Asif Khan both reiterated the commitment to making the festival an annual event, ensuring regular sports activities for the transgender community.
