According to the 24News HD TV channel, the bill was tabled by Asia Khattak and Aisha Naeem, members of the Parliamentary Women's Caucus Committee on Eunuchs.
Committee No 6 of the Parliamentary Women's Caucus submitted the draft bill after holding several consultative sessions to make a consensus on the issues related to the eunuchs’ community in the province.
According to the bill, eunuchs registered with the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) will be eligible for government benefits and privileges.
