방글라데시 첫 트렌스젠더 앵커
A ground breaking move...over in Bangladesh.
A satellite television station has hired the country's first ever transgender news anchor, saying it hopes the appointment will help change society.
Tashnuva Anan Shishir made her debut after working as a rights activist and actress.
"I am very lucky that both government and non-government officials waited for my (first) news. I was very nervous, I was feeling so emotional, but I had in my mind that I must overcome this ordeal, this final test, anyhow."
Born in a man's body, she said she found in her early teens that she was a woman, and experienced much hardship from her family.
For over 10-thousand transgenders in Bangladesh...finding employment is very difficult, and many turn to prostitution to live.
But their civil rights have been boosted as the government identified them as a separate gender and gave voting rights in 2018.
