The Struggles of LGBT People Around the World – Photo 5 of 5
For the past year, photographer Robin Hammond (follow Robin on Instagram @Hammond_Robin and @WhereLoveIsIllegal) has been documenting lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT) people who have suffered discrimination. “I wanted [these] survivors to talk for themselves about what they've been through,” Hammond explains. “With each of the 65 subjects I asked that they write down their story of discrimination and survival. They chose what to say and how to say it. This resulted in extremely powerful testimonies.” Nisha Ayub of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia is one of them. Ayub, 35, is a transgender woman who was arrested and sentenced to three months in prison for cross-dressing, a practice illegal under Malaysia's Islamic law. She was imprisoned in the male section, where she says she was verbally and physically abused.
Despite having breast implants earlier that year, she says she was made to walk topless through the prison and the guards shaved off her long hair. "One of the worst things about being in prison is that you don't feel like you own your body anymore," she says.
Once released, Ayub discovered she had lost her job in a hotel so she became a hostess in a bar, where she had to perform sex acts for money. Eventually, she heard of an NGO in Kuala Lumpur helping transgender people and now she advocates for other transgender women in Malaysia.
