SEED, or Social and Enabling Environment Development, is one of the most prominent nongovernmental organizations advocating for transgender rights in Malaysia, helping approximately 3,000 trans people get access to jobs, health care and legal representation. After the SEED center's funding, from the government's Women, Family and Community Development Ministry, was cut in January 2015, the former shelter, which provided overnight facilities for those in need, was reduced to a small office. Local trans people still come to the center for food, medical aid or a place to rest. Photograph taken on July, 2015, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Religion News Service photo by Alexandra Radu

No paywalls here. Thanks to you.
As an independent nonprofit, RNS believes everyone should have access to coverage of religion that is fair, thoughtful and inclusive. That's why you will never hit a paywall on our site; you can read all the stories and columns you want, free of charge (and we hope you read a lot of them!)

But, of course, producing this journalism carries a high cost, to support the reporters, editors, columnists, and the behind-the-scenes staff that keep this site up and running. That's why we ask that if you can, you consider becoming one of our donors. Any amount helps, and because we're a nonprofit, all of it goes to support our mission: To produce thoughtful, factual coverage of religion that helps you better understand the world. Thank you for reading and supporting RNS.
