News » Anjali Lama, First Nepali transgender model to walk at Lakme Fashion Week

A Nepali who will become the first transgender model to walk the runway at an Indian fashion show hopes to inspire other victims of gender identity discrimination across conservative South Asia. Anjali Lama, who was born a man in rural Nepal, was ostracized by members of her own family after telling them twelve years ago that she wanted to live as a woman. She overcame abuse and prejudices to become the Himalayan country’s first transgender model and is now preparing to strut the catwalk at Lakme Fashion Week in Mumbai, India’s premier fashion show, next month.
