Abstract
This study examined the portrayal of violence against transgender individuals in Pakistani Urdu dramas, emphasizing the significant influence of television on societal attitudes. Channels like PTV, ARY Digital, and HUM TV play a key role in shaping cultural perceptions through their content. Using thematic content analysis, the study explored the depiction of transgender characters and their treatment by other characters, comparing these portrayals to societal realities. Findings revealed that over 50% of transgender characters were depicted dominantly, a stark contrast to reality. Psychological violence was most common (28.5%), while economic violence was rare. Only 37.75% of transgender portrayals aligned with societal realities, with submissive and ambiguous depictions also present. Despite limited screen time, often played by renowned actors, transgender characters were portrayed as emotionally intelligent, patient, and bold at times. The dramas conveyed a message of equality and human rights, though significant differences in portrayal were observed across plays.
