Members of the trans community take part in a SEED-organized Iftar dinner during Ramadan in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on July 4, 2015. The dinner doubled as a charity fundraiser to make up for lost government funding. The event raised about RM 1,600 ($419 U.S. dollars). The government provided SEED with approximately RM 700,000/year ($183,000) until January 2015, when the government cut off its funding. Religion News Service photo by Alexandra Radu
