• You must-must-must check out this stunning photo essay by Sabrina Toppa for Vice about Bangladesh’s recent hijra pride parade:
Hijra pride rallies were held countrywide in six regions, featuring parades, henna painting, and a talent search. The festivities culminated with a huge parade in Dhaka, the country’s capital. Organizers said the objective was to highlight the community’s progress in securing rights, and remind government stakeholders of the need for a comprehensive law addressing ongoing discrimination against the estimated 10,000 hijras in Bangladeshi society.
