Transgender woman Yasin Ahmed Sokal has won the title of second runner-up in “Miss Evergreen Bangladesh 2023.” This is the first time that a trans woman has competed and won an award at a beauty pageant in Bangladesh.

For months, relatives and influential locals of the Baropur Talukdarpara in Bogura's Sadar upazila socially isolated a transgender woman's family – allegedly in an attempt to grab their property.
