The Best Pakistani Transgender Retirement Home

In a country where it's expected that your extended family will look after you in old age, what do you do if they rejected you a long time ago? That's a question for most of Pakistan's transgender community. They've often spent their lives ostracised by their families, scraping a living by dancing at weddings or as sex workers. Now, one member of the community, Guru Ashee, is setting up Pakistan's first retirement home for transgender people. Mobeen Azhar has been to Lahore to meet her.
