Showbiz personality Muhammad Usman Malik has launched a thought-provoking podcast series titled “Unmasking Realities,” focusing on social issues that are often ignored in mainstream discourse. The podcast shed light on the basic human rights of the transgender and intersex communities in Pakistan.

The podcast, released on Malik’s official Facebook page, aims to create awareness and encourage open dialogue about topics that remain taboo in society. Through honest conversation, Muhammad Usman Malik questions why society hesitates to discuss transgender and intersex individuals and why their basic human rights and dignity are frequently overlooked.

Malik invited Areena Shafqat, a researcher and expert in international and current affairs, as the guest speaker. Together, they highlighted the systemic negligence, social exclusion, and family struggles faced by transgender and intersex individuals. The discussion emphasizes the importance of recognizing them as humans first, deserving of respect, protection, and inclusion in society.

Speaking through the podcast, Muhammad Usman Malik stressed that the initiative does not aim to promote or encourage any form of sexual activity, but rather focuses strictly on human dignity, constitutional rights, and social acceptance. The episodes explore themes of empathy, awareness, and responsibility, urging viewers to rethink long-held prejudices.

“Unmasking Realities” is being released in episodes and has already gained attention for its bold subject matter and responsible approach. With this project, Muhammad Usman Malik continues to use his platform to advocate for meaningful conversations and positive social change.
